Estimating Considered Wasteful: Introducing Micro-Releases
Mon, 2008-02-25 22:31 — Joshua Kerievsky
Groups that are releasing their software to production one or more times per week are doing micro-releases.
Industrial Logic has been doing micro-releases of its Greatest Hits eLearning product (http://industriallogic.com/elearning) for a few years now.
Micro-releasing has simplified our process by eliminating traditional agile planning activities, such as
- estimating user stories
- reconciling estimates
- calculating velocity
- trying to obtain a consistent velocity
