Agile Project Prioritization and Estimation

Abstract

What does the fibonacci sequence have in common with both prioritization and estimation?  How do you prioritize projects in an environment with competing priorities?  How do you estimate the time it takes to complete tasks on projects?  Kris Brewster, from Drake University, gives an excellent presentation on the techniques we can use to prioritize and estimate work.
