Do you need to plan so much? Agile Planning and Estimations

We dedicate this episode to our OTJ regulars. You voiced wanting to learn more about agile planning, how to deal with conflict during estimation meetings and alternatives that may be available to you.

No gantt charts were moved during this episode.

We discussed topics like:

  • 🤝 Estimation is a ritual for stakeholder trust, but it's bad for you if unmitigated

  • 👑 Prototyping and continuous delivery can alleviate perfectionism and stress

  • 👥 Key people in your company may not communicate with each other, leading to silos and inefficiencies

  • 💣 Collaborate with the people who requested the software, not just get requirements from them

  • 🎁 Planning should focus on results and outcomes, not predictions of busy work

🎙 Watch “Do you need to plan so much?”

As always, you can find us on your favorite platform. What do you think of the episode?
