Agile Estimation: Relative estimates vs Absolute estimates

Whether a team is developing a product or a project, we need to answer the question “When will we be able to finish it?” , or how far we will be able to go at a certain point in time, so as with traditional development models, we need to estimate the workload before we start the project. Agile estimation is the process of estimating the effort required to complete a priority task in the product backlog. This effort is usually measured in terms of the time required to complete that task, which in turn leads to accurate sprint planning.

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a software development process, which relies on transforming software requirements into test cases before software is fully developed, and tracking all software development by repeatedly testing software for all test cases. This is the opposite of developing software first and then creating test cases. Some popular models support TDD very well, such as MVC and MVP.

How to Manage Product Backlog with DEEP Principles?

The product backlog lists all the features, functions, requirements, enhancements, and fixes required for the product releases. Product backlog projects have the attributes of description (appropriately Detailed), story points (Estimates), and orders (Prioritized).

Philosophy of Agile Development

Agile development is a human-centric, iterative, and gradual development method. In agile development, the construction of a software project is divided into multiple sub-projects, and the results of each sub-project have been tested and have the characteristics of integration and operation. In other words, a large project is divided into multiple small projects that are interrelated but can also be run independently, and completed separately. During this process, the software is always in a usable state.

Integrate PERT Chart with RACI Roles to Task Manager

Today I would like to use Visual Paradigm to demonstrate how to perform task planning for team members who will take up the RACI roles and these tasks in the Enhanced PERT Chart can automatically be assigned to the automated task manager called “Tasifier” for project management. A traditional PERT chart is a project management tool used to schedule, organize, and coordinate tasks within a project. The enhanced PERT Chart tool adds four additional features for integrating with different Visual Paradigm building blocks. You can do all these within an enhanced PERT Chart modeler.
