Improving productivity equals funWhat is the purpose of trying to improve estimates ?
http://blog.crisp.se/davidbarnholdt/2009/03/31/1238481840000.html
Teams often thinks they need to improve on estimating.<br />
I think it is waste to try do that. <br />
But difference in actual and estimated velocity is good information, and nothing to be sorry about.<br />
Mike Cohn have taught me this through his books "Agile Estimating and Planning" and "User Stories Applied". <br />
His teaching has been one of the most influental for me.<br />

I was able to test some of my learnings from the PSL class in a exercises I made up just the day before. <br />
The results were almost too good.<p><a href="http://blog.crisp.se/davidbarnholdt/2009/02/18/1234986060000.html">Read more...</a></p>
Debrief of Problem Solving Leadership class
http://blog.crisp.se/davidbarnholdt/2009/02/03/1233659433420.html
Last week I attended the Problem Solving Leadership class held by Jerry Weinberg, Johanna Rothman and Esther Derby.<br />
It was a week full of exercises and simulations and I consumed more knowledge during one week than I usually do for months. <br />
And I am still digesting it. This is a early debrief of what I think I have learnt. <object height="295" width="480">
