“When will it be done?” “How many items will I get in the next release?” “When will all of the items in the backlog be completed?” Those are some of the first questions your customers will ask you once you start working for them.

This hands-on workshop will give you the tools to answer those questions predictably. In this tutorial, attendees will learn what metrics are necessary for accurate forecasting, how to visualise those metrics in appropriate analytics, how to use those analytics to make reliable forecasts and understand risk, and, finally, how to make meaningful interventions for overall process improvement.

COURSE DETAILS

Make meaningful data-driven decisions, improve your ability to deliver value, and be more effective. After taking the course, you will have an opportunity to validate your understanding of Metrics for Predictability with our online assessment that evaluates your knowledge and provides guidance on areas to improve. Upon passing, you will receive the “Professional Applied Metrics” (PAM) certification and badge through Credly.
