This two-hour online power-session discusses how to use the throughput and velocity forecasting spreadsheets. Learn how to quickly forecast.
Learn how to use the throughput and velocity forecasting spreadsheets offered by Focused Objective (download them for free at the links below). Many people use these spreadsheets when forecasting software project delivery dates and team capacity. Join and hear the way these spreadsheets support conversation and difficult choices made earlier.
This power session is presented as a 2-hour online webinar. It requires that you are able to connect to the webinar online to see the screen sharing and slides, and hear the audio via computer or calling in by phone (local and international dial-in numbers provided; we host using the Zoom Communications webinar solution).
This spreadsheet forecasts a single feature/epic/project using Monte Carlo simulation. The spreadsheet will compute the duration and date solution at different likelihood percentages letting you give more certain answers where it matters most. The rate of delivery can be a simple range estimate of throughput or velocity or a set of historical samples of team throughput or velocity. No matter what process your team uses, this spreadsheet will make answering the questions of How Long? and By When? with a higher degree of certainty.

This spreadsheet forecasts multiple features/epics/projects using Monte Carlo simulation. The spreadsheet will compute what features/epics/projects will likely deliver on or before a target date at the given likelihood percentage you choose. The rate of delivery can be a simple range estimate of throughput or velocity or a set of historical samples of team throughput or velocity. No matter what process your team uses, this spreadsheet will make answering the questions of How Much? and Will Feature X Make It? with a higher degree of certainty.
