Agile Estimation and Delivery
Description
Once upon a time, we wrote what we wanted in excruciating detail and called it a requirements document. We handed that document to a software development team for implementation, and then we waited. And waited. And when we finally got the software back, sometimes we recognized in it some of what we requested, and sometimes we still wanted what we had requested. And we asked for changes, repeating the process.
In this course we'll explore the ways to gain more control over the finished product using less painstaking work.
