xpday2006: Are we done yet?
Ivan Moore’s session on agile estimation and tracking had some interesting discussion centred around the idea of using real-day estimates for iteration planning in conjunction with ideal-day estimates for release planning.
For me, this is one of the areas of agile that needs simplification. I always have problems getting people to understand the difference between release planning, iteration planning, ideal days, velocity, story points, gummy bears….
I’d like to explore the idea of using real days a bit more. I think they have something going for them - people actually understand what they are!
