Description: This book could have been called Estimating and Planning Agile Projects. Instead, it抯 called Agile Estimating and Planning. The difference may appear subtle, but it抯 not. The title makes it clear that the estimating and planning processes must themselves be agile. Without agile estimating and planning, we cannot have agile projects.

The book is mostly about planning, which I view as answering the question of 揥hat should we build and by when??However, to answer questions about planning we must also address questions of estimating (擧ow big is this?? and scheduling (擶hen will this be done??and 揌ow much can I have by then??.

This book is organized in seven parts and twenty-three chapters. Each chapter ends with a summary of key points and with a set of discussion questions. Because estimating and planning are meant to be whole-team activities, one of the ways I hope this book will be read is by teams who meet perhaps weekly to discuss what they抳e read and the questions at the end of each chapter. Because agile software development is popular worldwide, I have tried to avoid writing an overly United States-centric book. To that end, I have used the universal currency symbol, writing amounts such as ?00 instead of perhaps $500 or ?500 and so on.
