Topic: How to Use Inch-Pebbles When You Think You Can't

Abstract:
Inch-pebbles, or miniature milestones, are defined as a best
practice, but they're not frequently used. As a consequence, our
projects are more delayed, and have fewer features, and more defects
than we prefer.

But while inch-pebbles may be a best practice, they're not commonly
used. Sometimes, people don't want to use inch-pebbles. Sometimes
it's hard to figure out how to use them. Nevertheless, while
inch-pebbles may not be completely appropriate for every projects
phase, every project can benefit from inch-pebbles at some point in
its duration.

Inch-pebbles are useful when you know what you have to do. This
presentation will discuss how to plan the project when you don't know
everything you have to do.
