As I was reading Mike Cohn\’s \”Agile Estimating and Planning\” for the last couple of days, I\’ve taken some notes that I thought were worth sharing and discussing. The later sections of the book really focus on the technical aspects of agile planning, such as using points for estimation, planning poker, release planning, etc, all of which I was already fairly familiar with. For me, most of the interesting observations were in the first half of Mike\’s book where estimating and planning is discussed in broader terms and contrasted with counter-part approaches in waterfall project management.
