Plan Projects Better: Tools, Time, and Agile Estimation
This long course focuses on task-level design, estimation, and the fundamental tooling conventions that make planning achievable in day-to-day delivery. You will master task anatomy (title, description, assignee, due date, labels, and dependencies) and practical field templates that ensure clarity across teams. The course introduces story points and collaborative estimation techniques and demonstrates how to map story-point forecasting to team velocity. Hands-on work uses Asana timeline/Gantt views to sequence and export compact schedules and to create reproducible timeline artifacts. The emphasis is on repeatable, shareable artifacts: field templates, trimmed timelines, and a brief velocity snapshot for stakeholder conversations. You will practice short exercises that connect estimation choices to planning outcomes.
