Let’s face it, the job of producing an estimate for a project is not the business analyst’s responsibility; that chore belongs to the project manager. However, as part of the overall project estimate, the business analyst will have to contribute the estimates of his or her time and level of effort.

• How do we do this?
• And what about estimating for agile?
• What is all this about story points and planning poker? Is this really estimating?
• Do we really need estimates in the first place?

In this webinar we will talk about the need for an estimate and how best to get estimates from others on the team. We will review the various agile estimating methods and how we might use them. And maybe we will come up with some less fear inducing approach, a magic “get out of jail free card” for when management (or anyone) asks, “How long will it take?”
