Agile practitioners understand the importance of using estimation techniques like planning poker and metrics like velocity and burndown charts to optimize project planning and execution. In this course, you will explore Agile estimation techniques, relative sizing, and the purpose of user story points in Agile projects. Then you will find out how to conduct a poker planning session, identify the basics of affinity estimation, and calculate team velocity. Next, you will estimate team capacity for Sprint planning, interpret team progress with burndown charts, and analyze trends in cumulative flow diagrams. Finally, you will examine lead time, cycle time, and throughput, investigate how Little's law applies to agile, and discover the impact of Parkinson's law on efficiency. This course helps prepare learners for the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)(r) exam.
