Session title: Project Planning in an Agile Environment

Session presenters: Johanna Rothman

Session description:

Agile development methods are particularly useful when we don�t know all the requirements, when requirements are apt to change, when we want to have something ready to ship at a moment�s notice, and when we can�t necessarily plan all of our projects in advance. Agile development makes it almost impossible to create a traditional project plan. And, traditional test planning is difficult to plan and manage in an agile environment. What does work to plan the project, plan the testing, and complete overall product testing, to provide information to the project team and to provide the customer the best possible product?

In this interactive presentation, we'll discuss techniques such as iterative project planning, pair planning, planning for pair testing, and exploratory testing singly and in pairs. We�ll discuss the stresses agility puts on managers and on the technical staff, and explore ways to plan, manage, and monitor the work, and product risk. Come prepared to have fun.
