Applied Metrics for Predictability (AMP)
“When will it be done?” “How many items will I get in the next release?” “When will all of the items in the backlog be completed?” Those are some of the first questions that your customers will ask you once you start work for them. This hands-on workshop will provide you with the tools you need to answer those questions predictably.
Description
This hands-on workshop will provide you with the tools you need to answer those questions predictably. In this tutorial, attendees will learn what metrics are necessary for accurate forecasting, how to visualize those metrics in appropriate analytics, how to use those analytics make reliable forecasts and understand risk, and, finally, how to make meaningful interventions for overall process improvement.
Learn from Daniel Vacanti author of "Actionable Agile Metrics For Predictability" and "When Will It Be Done?" and co-founder of ProKanban.org and co-author of 'The Kanban Guide' (which you can download for free here >> ).
