  • Just want to clarify the sigma values

    Hi, David,
    I am not sure where are the sigma values come from, you mentioned in your presentation:
    1 sigma = 85%
    2 sigma = 98%

    But based on my understanding of standard deviation, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation
    1 sigma = 68%
    2 sigma = 95%

  • Importance of velocity

    by Sameh Zeid,

    Story-point sizing is higly relative to the request size based on team judgement. From my view, Throughput is business metric and defining it in-terms of story-points might not bring the value if we defined it interms of the request itself.

    Your presentation is great and asnwers many of the problems I see happening in IT projects.
