Estimating and Planning for Agile,
http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile-estimating-planning-training is an important part of the agile development process and according to Mike Cohn the lead trainer, planning even has a place in programming and project management. Using estimating & planning on projects helps the agile project management team answer those two questions that are most often the hardest to answer: “When will we be done?” and “How soon can we have all of these features?”

At the end of this course, participants will have learned skills for creating useful plans that lead to reliable decision-making and will have a solid understanding of agile release and iteration planning. In addition, because Mountain Goat Software is a registered education provider through the PMI, this Agile training class counts for 7.5 Professional Development Units (PDUs).

According to one of Mike Cohn's students, Clinton Keith, CTO of High Moon Studios, "Mike has been High Moon Studio’s agile coach and teacher for several years. He is equally great at one-on-one coaching as he is with teaching entire classes on how to be ScrumMasters, how to write user stories or how to plan on an agile project."

Mike Cohn's Agile training classes include an appropriate mix of lecture, small-group discussion and hands-on exercises. Class participants benefit by learning new ways of working and practical skills that can be immediately applied. In addition, because Mountain Goat Software is a registered education provider through the PMI, this Agile training class counts for 15 Professional Development Units (PDUs).
