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.
