About the conference
Agile Australia was founded in 2009 as an annual Conference. Since then, not only has the Conference grown to welcome over 1,200 delegates each year as well as high-profile speakers from around the country and the world, but Agile Australia has also become much more than a Conference. AgileAus is a hub for the Australian agilist community and those interested in better ways of working.

Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.
In the Q&A, the presenter conflated estimating with forecasting, effectively stating that you cannot to the latter without the former. That is not true, unless you consider right-sizing as estimation. Perhaps that was the intention behind the answer; but the subtlety was likely lost on the person asking. Check out #noestimates.
