Agile Estimating and Planning is the definitive, practical guide to estimating and planning agile projects. In this book, Agile Alliance cofounder Mike Cohn discusses the philosophy of agile estimating and planning and shows you exactly how to get the job done, with real-world examples and case studies. Concepts are clearly illustrated and readers are guided, step by step, toward how to answer the following questions: What will we build? How big will it be? When must it be done? How much can I really complete by then? You will first learn what makes a good plan-and then what makes it agile. Using the techniques in Agile Estimating and Planning , you can stay agile from start to finish, saving time, conserving resources, and accomplishing more. Highlights include: Agile Estimating and Planning supports any agile, semiagile, or iterative process, including Scrum, XP, Feature-Driven Development, Crystal, Adaptive Software Development, DSDM, Unified Process, and many more. It will be an indispensable resource for every development manager, team leader, and team member.

The author walks a very thin line when comparing story points to ideal days that doesn't make much sense given the explanation he provides. Additionally there are cases where he contradicts when he says or changes his stance on something (for example going from relative to absolute value for a given metric).

Ļoti koncentrēta informācijas ziņā grāmata. Tiek doti visi nepieciešamie pamati agile plānošanai un darbu novērtējumiem - gan kā vērtēt stāstījuma punktos vai ideālajās dienās, kā noteikt plānoto izstrādes ātrumu (velocity), kā saplānot iterāciju un relīzi. Katra nodaļa it kā būvē māju tālāk uz iepriekšējām nodaļām un dotās informācijas.
Man patika, ka informācija ir skaidri izklāstīta, bez liekvārdības, bet arī ne pārāk sausi. Ļoti palīdz arī kā pēdējā nodaļa iekļautais "reālais" projekts, ar plānošanas sesijām, projekta apjoma aprakstiem, plāniem utt.
Par labu grāmatai saka arī tas, ka man uzreiz gribējās pārskatīt iepriekšējā projekta gaitu (ko es arī uzsāku darīt), identificējot kļūdas (kuru bija daudz) un mēģinot atrast risinājumus, kā arī uzreiz ķerties pie jauna projekta plānošanas, iemēģinot piedāvātos risinājumus. No vienas puses žēl, ka šī grāmata neatnāca pie manis ātrāk, no otras - jau esot ar kļūdainu praksi, vieglāk saskatīt, kā ir pareizi un kā tas varētu strādāt.

This is one of the older books, on Agile that I hadn't read until recently- it is a new area for me. I have a fair deal of catching up to do here. The interest for me, here is a bit unusual- I do wonder, what feature planning entails. I am not sure if this is the right book for this. Recommended.

Wonderful book for any member of agile team interested in reasoning behind most popular estimation, prioritization and planning techniques as well as recommendations of proven practices from one of the most recognized Agile evangelist - Mike Cohn. Book is very well written, structured and easy to read. It accompanied with metaphors and anecdotes for better understanding of described topics. Last chapter written in form of fiction which summarizes all key points mentioned in the book on the example of agile team from mythical company. This book is must for product owners and scrum masters.
