Aaron Jeutter presented the technique of “Big Rock Sizing” during the QSM Agile Round Table series and provided an article published on the QSM web site under “Big Rock Estimation: Using Agile Techniques to Provide a Rough Software Schedule / Resource Estimate.”  He presents the technique during this webinar session.  The methods are used to provide early sizing and estimates based on high level requirements, which get refined using agile techniques as the work progresses.  This technique helps teams determine the size of a release early in absence of a “big upfront requirements phase.”
