Kanban Coaching Exchange: Monte Carlo Simulation Explained with Sonya Siderova

As an alternative approach to forecasting, getting to grips with Monte Carlo simulations can be challenging, especially if you’ve been stuck estimating your work using story points (or hours) for quite some time.

And there are so many questions that come with the Monte Carlo method. Do we need to slice our items into even sizes? Does the simulation consider our current work in progress? What data is needed for it to produce reliable outcomes?

In this session, Sonya Siderova will reveal the full potential of one of the most reliable methods to project forecasting.

Have you ever thought about what priority actually means? I think if we go to its etymological sense, it was rather objective – what takes precedence. But what about in business? Do we always mean that?”
