Just because your project is agile doesn't mean you shouldn't plan. After all, isn't failing quickly on paper faster than in production? In this talk, we will discuss what elements of your project can and should be defined up front. We will discuss estimates, wire framing, sequence diagrams and you will leave with tangible practices and examples -this isn't another theory talk designed to espouse project management dogma. This is "real" world software development.
