In this video I compare an agile project with a traditional, waterfall project, and look at the reasons why agile project management is used and what the main features of an agile project are.

    We don't have value point concept in our project as customers don't accord such point to a story. Product owner prioritised stories depending on how important it is for release deployment, in consultation with client. I enjoyed this video since explanation is incisive and invokes tremendous interest amongst Agile practitioner.

    Development time estimation doesn't matter. Use cost of delay to figure out how bad you need the feature. Usually the value of really important tasks is high enough (multi million costs) to justify basically any activity. Then you can leave out estimation entirely and actually get the work done which will make your customer happy 😂😄

  • @JoeBaloney
    @JoeBaloney Год назад

    I still don't get it. It's like estimating distance in miles, then record it as Fahrenheit. During the estimation process, we slip in intimidating words like Fibonacci so people will think we know what we are doing

  • @nedcpa
    @nedcpa Год назад

    Great video. In summary: In agile estimation, story points are used as an abstract time unit to avoid absolute time estimates, while value points measure task importance. The Fibonacci sequence is favored for story and value point estimation in agile because it fits human thinking.

  • @donaldewart2275
    @donaldewart2275 Год назад

    I'm sorry, but this is not good. It make the rookie error of equating SP to time - it's not. Then showing fibonacci equation turns people off and doesn't describe why it helps (it's not about accuracy) just 'how people work...'. We also typically don't use the strict fibonacci series, but use 20,40,100 for higher values. Can a large story (55point) be done in a sprint? seems unrealictic and will lead people into a trap. no mention of breaking down at 13... No mention of reference stories to help the calibration. Then mentions project Manager - are we doing projects? It would have been good to see how to track using burndown and burn up charts.

  • @williamfox7773
    @williamfox7773 Год назад

    Conflating story points with time is a fundamental misunderstanding of their use. They’re meant to convey complexity and risk. The reason we remove time from points is because different developers code at different rates of speed but, as a team, we need a way to relatively size the lift, agnostic to developer…

  • @mabobine420
    @mabobine420 Год назад

    Very informative and I appreciate you sharing your experiences and knowledge. Could you please guide on the following: 1. Conducting a story point estimation throughout cross functional team means 1 representative from every functional group or all team members across organization? 2. A developer estimate 3 points for story vs tester estimate 8 points. Tester has to perform cross browser testing hence the scope of testing is large + different permutations/combinations to test the business rules. Which one will be taken as correct story point: 3 or 8? 3. Is there a baseline for effort based on story points e.g. 1 story point take 4 hours, 2 take 6 hours and so on 4. Say story point estimate consensus built on 3 story points. How do you schedule it if it's a 3 hour estimate by team. I mean in the end it will be development, testing, bug fixing, regression so will it be 3 hours each all the tasks together or 12 hours i.e 3 hours × 4 tasks

    Story points aren't time, they are complexity, effort, and risk. This video is bad.

  • @goaway2013
    @goaway2013 2 года назад

    Estimates are futile exercise for corporate managers and scrum masters. First point: Agile says nothing about estimates, pro or con. Use Cases are not agile but rather techniques that can be used by scrum, kaban, etc which are methodologies that can agile or non agile. Story points fall in the same category. But Story points are a function of complexity and not function of time. #NoEstimates

    I love this but am struggling with what the context of the "customer" is. (From 3:30) For example, if we are doing a site redesign and the first deliverable is the global header, how do we estimate the value from the customer's perspective? The new header is a number of epics, broken down into smaller pieces, naturally. But the customer needs every bit of each epic of it for it to be a new user experience. So how does one estimate something like that from the customer's perspective? Does anyone have any thoughts?

    I find the reverse engineering of SP to time units an agile anti-pattern. A story will be delivered by the end of the iteration, that’s all we need to know. Otherwise, good explanation

    Nice video, thanks. What is the point of all the ordering, prioritization processes & calculations until the BFTB sores & reordering, if the team would still have to brainstorm & reorder finally based on the dependencies? why not just prioritize based on the dependencies in the first place instead? like in the traditional PM

    @sooryanarayanan3503 2 года назад

    Fantastic tutorial! Just like the formula for calculating the Bang for the Buck, is there a formula to calculate the velocity and the time taken for the user story to be completed even for the 1st iteration? Thanks in advance !

    • @DavidGriffithsEsq
      @DavidGriffithsEsq 2 года назад

      Hello Soorya. The first iteration is when you really are guessing based on virtually no evidence (other than any other similar projects you work on). The good news is that *after* the first iteration you start to gather real world knowledge (the number of points you completed) which you can feed back in to future iterations. Over time, the estimates get more and more accurate.

  • @Lateralus46x2
    @Lateralus46x2 2 года назад

    How do dependencies come into play? You may have roof as the greatest value but you can't get it in because realistically, you have to pour the concrete for the foundation first, then build the walls, etc... until you can actually get to the roof.
