An
Agile team values responding to change over following a plan. Does this mean
that there's no such thing as planning on an Agile project? Absolutely not.
Planning, like design, is a continuous activity. In this session, we'll cover
the fundamental units of Agile planning: the User Story, the stand-up meeting,
the iteration plan and retrospective, and the release plan. Priority will be
given to sharing hard-fought tips about how to manage the various planning
activities as we review each of these "check points" you'll encounter
in the course of a well run Agile project.
