How effective collaboration and views on estimation help improve delivery and delivery predictions
As we try to answer the usual question 'when will we get this?' we encounter reality, and along with it the pain.
My presentation is revealing how the various techniques can come together to establish data-driven insight to enable better decisions towards better business outcomes.
Although 'the basics', this insight will naturally lead to more 'how would we do this in these circumstances?' type questions which is why I've left a healthy amount of time to begin to deep-dive into the questions you personally will bring into this conversation.
Naturally, there'll never be enough time to cover everything (Rome wasn't built in a day after all...) but you'll get enough take-aways from this presentation, with mapping into real-life scenarios, to reveal to yourself 'what good looks like' and begin to shape your own and your organisation's personal journey along this thing we call 'Agile'.
Outline/Structure of the Tutorial
We'll begin by defining the problem
We'll explore what the various parts of the problem are
Then we'll start to explore what the solution might look like, tapping into the various scaling-frameworks out there.
We'll be exploring how to establish this thing called 'flow' and what that looks like, and then how we might go about measuring flow, and then using these measurements to predict future delivery.
Finally we'll open the discussion up to a healthy Questions and Answers forum where we'll deep dive into participants' own pain points and see if we can help them out. After all, the opening sentence of the Agile Manifesto informs us that 'We are...helping others do it'.
Learning Outcome
- Why Backlog Readiness is important
- Popular estimation techniques
and how and why estimation can be a potential weakness - How effective Estimation and Collaboration can improve Delivery and Delivery Predictions, and techniques to ‘keep your finger on the pulse’
- How we might scale this and what that scaling looks like and why.
Target Audience
Anyone who is 'on the hook' for answering the question 'When will we get this?'
Prerequisites for Attendees
No pre-requisites as we'll build the knowledge 'from the ground up'.
If you have experience of real-life scenarios when you've been challenged with answering the 'when will we get this?' question, then this may be valuable to this discussion.

45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Users' minds take shortcuts to get through the day. Usually, they’re harmless. Even helpful. But what happens when they’re not? In this talk, I’ll use real-world examples to identify some particularly harmful biases that frequently lead users to make bad decisions. I'll then talk about some content strategies and design choices we can use in our apps, designs, and platforms to redirect or eliminate the impact of those biases. Finally, I'll explore our own biases as designers and some methods to prevent our own blind spots from hurting users.

20 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
CUSTOMER OBSESSION! Does this sound negative? I don’t think so… Why?
Living in a new era where Digital is the KEY, every next day brings something new on the plate. Customer asks ‘can it be quicker?’, ‘can I get more options?’, ‘Can I get additional cherry on the ice-cream?’
This change in Dynamics, have set a very high customer expectation. And it’s us, who are the culprits to set this up by doing fantabulous job and raising the bars!!
What do you think how we can compete with our own previous SUCCESS to deliver more? Or even improving ourselves looking back at our learning?
Does any methodology, approach with the right agile mind-set help customer delight? How does it compliment working with MVP. Let’s TALK…
