Planning Poker® is a consensus-based estimating technique.

If all estimators selected the same value, that becomes the estimate. If not, the estimators discuss their estimates. The high and low estimators should especially share their reasons

I wanted to share an alternative estimating technique of T-shirt sizing instead of using Story points.

If you are used to the Fibonacci sequence for Story points you can think of the T-shirt sizes when you are estimating PBIs in a similar pattern — XS (1), S (2), M (3), L (5), XL (8). Eventually, the team can switch to using these points directly.

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a method used to examine the tasks in a schedule and determine a Critical Path Method variation (CPM). It analyzes the time required to complete each task and its associated dependencies to determine the minimum time to complete a project.

Definition Critical Path: The longest path of scheduled activities that must be met to execute a project.

Earned value management (EVM) is a project management methodology that integrates schedule, costs, and scope to measure project performance. Based on planned and actual values, EVM predicts the future and enables project managers to adjust accordingly.

Actual Costs (AC)
However, it’s important to remember to include several hidden costs—material, resource, hardware, software licenses, overheads, etc.

Earned Value (EV)
At the end of 2 months, you may have planned to complete 40% of your work, but let’s say you managed to just finish 30%

In our example:
EV = Total project cost % of actual work = $25,000 30% = $7,500

QA means Planning for doing a process. QC Means Action for executing the planned process.
Statistical Technique used on QA is known as Statistical Process Control (SPC.) Statistical Technique used on QC is known as Statistical Quality Control (SPC.)

QA is the process to create the deliverables. QC is the process to verify that deliverables.

You'll find this method is particularly useful when you're trying to solve complicated problems.

The primary goal of using RCA is to analyze problems or events to identify:
