Yet, in the pragmatic real-world, customers and other stakeholders still need plans and forecast delivery dates and commitments. Agile guidance to address these real-world concerns haven’t been fit-for-purpose: overly simplistic techniques based on metrics such as velocity have been failing product owners and scrummasters the world over.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif;">In this 1-day class developed by one of Kanbanland’s expert mathematician, Alexei Zheglov, we offer you a fact-based, scientific approach to planning projects and customer deliverables in a lightweight and agile fashion using the mathematics of probability and risk management. You will learn to produce robust, mathematically sound, defensible forecasts and plans, using the minimal of effort. You’ll leverage real historical data to make better plans. You’ll learn just how many historical data points you need to forecast with confidence. You’ll learn the mathematical and scientific basis for every practice you’ll use.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><div><p><span style="color: rgb(33, 49, 65); font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Who Should Attend?</span></p></div><div>This class is for anyone who is held accountable and responsible for customer deliveries and deliverables.
