“#NoEstimates is a hashtag for the topic of exploring alternatives to estimates for
making decisions in software development. That is, ways to make
decisions with 'No Estimates'.”
Getting rid of confusion

Getting rid of confusion
• #NoEstimates is no method, tool, or process that you can directly apply
• #NoEstimates is a discussion about alternatives to make decisions in software development

Needing estimates
• Prioritization
• Planification
• Make decisions

Questioning estimates
• Estimations / Deadlines
• Cost-driven / Value-driven
• Estimating / Guessing

Estimating / Guessing
• Software development
• unrepetitive
• unpredictable
• ≠ car production for instance

Seeking for alternatives
• Work on constraints (date / cost / priority)
• Work on delivery
• Iterate not increment
• Focus on value
