Agile Estimation

Estimation in Agile tends to land in two camps: those that want to estimate work items as a means to roughly predict what is going to happen during a Sprint whilst Sprint Planning for example, and those that focus instead on the exhibited flow by measuring the Cycle Time at periodic intervals of how many uniform sized work items are completed when implementing the Kanban Framework for example.

This article addresses the former situation when a forward predictive estimate is needed.
