Why improving estimation will fail (and what to do instead) - with Vasco Duarte

We've been told, over and over again that estimation is a question of skill. That you can get better at estimation, and provide accurate estimates (at some point in the future). Well, let's take that claim and analyze it. In the process, we will prove that project estimates are a failure-prone approach, that very quickly escalates in a negative impact with the number of tasks in a project. In other words, estimation is the most useful in large projects, but also a certain failure in the same type of projects.
At the end of this session, we uncover a better method.

We are excited to welcome Vasco Duarte, a leading voice in the agile community, known for his contributions to the development of agile methodologies and practices. He is the co-founder of Agile Finland and the host of Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast, the most popular Agile podcast in the world, which has more than 10 000 000 unique downloads. He is also the author of "NoEstimates: A novel look at how Agile can transform software development, making it both more sustainable, as well as incredibly profitable."
