Hello everyone-- I've been very remiss in posting much information to this group. I'd still like to use it for discussions about agile estimating and planning....
Hi Eric-- The "Agile Estimating and Planning" class is a one-day class all about how to estimate and plan on agile projects. It is applicable to all brands of...
Hi Sven-- It's good to hear from you. The book was initially to be called "Succeeding With Agile: A Guide to Transitioning and Improving." However, as I've...
Hi Eric-- The Certified ScrumMaster class is two days. In the US it costs $1300 and includes breakfast, lunch, a 1 GB USB drive with the course materials and...
Mike, I'd be interested in reviewing upcoming works as well. especially since Agile Program Management Offices are entering our domain. Glen B. Alleman Vice...
That's very likely. I've only got 3 more sets of classes for the rest of 2008---Washington, DC in June then San Diego in July and San Jose in October. You can...
Hi Mike, In general I like short books better because you can read them everywhere whereas the longer, and thus also heavier books require you to sit at a...
Mike Perhaps it isn't the number of books or pages but the 'story(s)' you are telling. But then again you know where this post is going. 8^) I would be...
Thanks, Sven. I appreciate your opinion--especially as you were so helpful in the past. I hope you've been well. It took me forever to find the "getting...
I like the idea of two different books with each having a specific focus because the audiences are quite different simply based on where they are in the...
Hi Lori-- That's similar to my thinking. I'm hopeful that someone could buy the "getting started" of the two books and use it for up to a year then be done...
... I think two books published at the same time would be a great idea, especially if there's a discount when buying the two together ;-) Since you're the...
Hi Stephan-- I wish I'd be able to get them published at the same time. What I'd try to do instead is get the second book (about getting good and called...
Hi Glen-- I would love to have your thoughts on upcoming chapters. I will have a section in one of the chapters on Agile PMOs. The best way to hear when I...
Hi Mike, hope you are keeping well. Both of these books sound excellent and fill gaps that I have seen with both beginner and seasoned agile teams. I'm...
Thanks, Paul. I'll post a general "call for reviewers" when I get enough chapters ready. I'd say there are enough chapters ready now but I want to release them...
Hi. I'm new to the group and pretty new to agile planning, so apologies if this sounds like a silly question.. I'm setting up an initial meeting for gathering...
Hi Avi, I strongly recommend that you leave Excel out of the meeting. Use index cards to write the stories on, one story per card. This way the can be...
Hi Ron. ... I can understand why whiteboards or cards, but why is the format not important? As I understand, the format should help focus the story and keep it...
Thanks Tobias! So far I've take your advice about involving the whole team (or at least more of it), and asked our QA tester to join in too, hoping that this...
I would suggest you read Mike Cohn's book if you have not already and visit his website 'mountaingoatsoftware.com' - he has a lot of useful information on...
... A, not when you are trying to figure out what the stories are, which I took to be the original question. B, any other time the format is training wheels....
Hi Lori. ... I'm in mid-reading of both his books ("Agile estimating and planning" and "User STories Applied"). They are great and my only problem is I havn't...
