Plan Visualizer Tool: Agile Forecasting for Accurate Plans
- The Plan Visualizer tool in the Agile Mentors Community aids in forecasting agile plans' likelihood of completion within target iterations.
- By inputting velocity estimates, such as a range of 26–34 for 240 story points in 8 iterations, teams can assess feasibility.
- Using the tool, stakeholders can understand work feasibility based on velocity estimates falling within achievable ranges.
- If forecasts indicate work may not be completed, options include extending sprints, reducing scope, or a combination of both.
- Collaboration with stakeholders to set realistic expectations is facilitated through the Plan Visualizer tool.
- Forecasting velocity accurately involves considering historical data, mean velocity, and using a range for future predictions.
- Prediction intervals in the tool calculate future velocity ranges using statistical methods for increased planning accuracy.
- The Plan Visualizer supports scenario testing by adjusting sprint counts and scope to find viable solutions.
- Accessing the Agile Mentors Community provides tools, resources, and a network of agile professionals for enhanced planning capabilities.
- Joining the community offers collaborative opportunities, access to tools like Planning Poker®, and a library of agile resources.
