I'm putting together a presentation to deliver to some of my teammates (all developers), and I'd like to include a short team building activity that focuses on improving estimation skills. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any team building activities I could use?
What could be a good team building activity to improve estimation skills?
estimation;team building
Check out Joel On Software's Evidence Based Scheduling, it's a fairly simple way for people to figure out how estimate more accurately.The best way to learn how to estimate is to have good requirements, practice, practice, and practice. Teaching them things like Evidence Based Scheduling will help the practice be more effective, but nothing can replace actual practicing.
