Estimates need to be viewed from two sides, the requestor, and the creator. All too often there are misunderstandings or mismatched expectations between the two sides, resulting in estimates that do not meet the intended purpose. Building an understanding of how estimating works enables more constructive conversations between the two sides and naturally leads to better estimates. Using a mix of theory and real-life examples, the presentation will cover the following topics:

(1) Basic differences when estimating in an agile environment

(2) Choosing the right estimating style – why and when

(3) Dealing with uncertainty and risk

(4) How to present an estimate.

After viewing the webinar, participants will be better positioned to engage in developing and presenting quality estimates for their projects.
