Adaptive planning

3 hours

One of the most pressing questions regarding Agile is - whether and to what extent Agile teams plan. Short answer - Yes, they plan. They mastermind short-term actions and plan for the longer term as well. The only difference with traditional proxies is that Agile teams use different techniques that help them integrate changes quickly into their schedule and see how it will differ.

This practical workshop will show you how to make realistic project plans and communicate progress to management and stakeholders. You will learn helpful techniques and tools that could be applied from now on to make your work more successful.

This also leads to participants feeling more confident and being more effective in applying the knowledge and skills back at their workplace.
