Agile Project

Project – Planning Poker

Problem Statement – It is an iterative approach to estimating Steps:

Topics: Each estimator is given a deck of cards; each card has a valid estimate written on it, Customer/Product owner reads a story, Each estimator selects a card that‘s his or her estimate, Cards are turned over so all can see them Discuss differences (especially outliers), Re-estimate until estimates converge
