 Hi there. I'm Woody Zool. I'm a software developer and I've been doing software development for about 40 years and I'm here going to be here at the Agile India 2023 conference. This is my third time and to be talking about two topics that are really meaningful to me and one of them is I'm now calling beyond estimates. It's the idea that I've never really seen estimates work all that well for software development and year after year I hear people saying we need to get better at estimates. Our estimates are not very good and to me there's something a little bit wrong with that. I'm not sure if after a year or two we still can't get good at something we think we should get good at. There may be more to it than just we're not getting good at it. Maybe no matter how good we get they're not very helpful and this session it's going to be a full day workshop. We're going to cover what estimates are why we do them, what might be the problems with them and what we might do instead. Now I want to make it clear I don't have answers for you. You're going to help me think about what are potential answers. I can tell you how I've worked but I'm not sure that's appropriate for your situation. So this is more of an exploratory session. You want to bring your inquisitive mind and some of your experiences bring that to share with us. We'll talk about what estimates are and why we do them. So think about how you're currently using them and making them. So beyond estimates is more for the people that use estimates than those who make estimates but that's what we're going to do. I've done these before at Agilindia and all around the world and I really would love to have you join me for that.
