Description: Estimation is hard. It’s even harder when the work is complex and the teams are distributed. How do we improve the reliability of our estimates and the predictability of our work to make effective decisions at the roadmap level? We will show how teams can use relative estimation effectively and demonstrate a way to accomplish this using collaboration frameworks that scale to many teams.
