Applying Metrics for Predictability (AMP)
Are you being asked "when will you be done" and don't have an accurate answer for that? This class dives deep into this question for both single item forecasting and multiple item forecasting. We also address variability in your data and what we can do to increase the accuracy of those forecasts. Although this is a key piece of a Kanban system, this kind of forecasting works equally well for Scrum teams.
