Summary

Every day, heads of software development strain to eliminate uncertainty and improve development planning effectiveness — and, ultimately, team output.

This 45-minute webinar will prove that the surest route to success is to embrace that uncertainty.

Join Peter Cronin and discover a radical 4-step buffer management process to finally get scheduling under control, and increase output without sacrificing quality.

What you will learn

In this webinar, Peter Cronin will argue the solution to software development planning is not to add more buffer, more sprints and more deadlines.

Instead, the goal must be to:

1. Release tasks as late as possible to preserve flexibility (at all costs)
2. Minimise batch size to reduce variability (the enemy of software development)
3. Only start things you can finish and finish things before you start new things
4. Make the invisible, visible and only measure the output of the team as a whole

Peter will then guide you through each step, detailing the practical application of each to software development teams.

Who should attend

Heads of software development, Developers, Testes, DevOps and agile enthusiasts!
