A starting point for a discussion on marrying Agile methods and CMMI.Planning Poker cards are here!
Posted by Hillel on Oct 11, 2007 in Planning Poker, Project Planning, Scrum | 1 comment
We created and produced decks of planning poker cards.
Right now, we’re not set-up to sell them yet, so… if you ask nicely, we’ll send you a deck.
More info here.
(The card on the right is the "I need a break!" card.
the backs of the cards have our AgileCMMI logo and *this* site’s URL.)

My professional passion is to build high performance organizations out of companies motivated to be lean, agile, and achieve world-class results. My best clients are companies who have the courage, leadership, insight, foresight and discipline to be the best places to work, the best value to their customers and the best performing for their shareholders. I take a tough love approach and, frankly, have little patience for executives who *want* these things but expect to achieve them without putting in any effort or making any changes.

Hi Hillel
The organization I work for is CMMi L3. For maintenance projects, we currently use a parametric method to estimate size, complexity and effort. We have implemented improvements to this technique, but still, there is large variability on the performance of this method (when compared against actual effort, which we record).
There are strong initiatives to move to a more agile approach, including effort estimation using planning poker, but we don´t want it to turn into a total-guessing and whole-dependable-on-persons technique
I understand that (out of the box) it covers PP, because attributes (size, complexity) are estimated, and later effort get derived from them
However I´d like your comments on maturity level 3 practices, such as Generic Pratice GP 3.2 (Collect Process Related Experiences), IPM SP 1.2 (Use Organizational Process Assets for Planning Project Activities)
Thanks for your comments
