• Webinar about Agile Estimations: Agile is probably the most important development methodology for IT and still increasing. With the increase of Agile and the decrease of traditional development methods is often the question “Do we still need to estimate? Do estimates in an Agile environment add business Value or is it actually a Waste?” On June 30 two international spreakers, Arlene Minkiewicz from Price Systems and Martijn Groenewegen from Metri provide you their expert opinion in the by Nesma hosted webinar. Register here (there is no registration fee) or read here more about the webinar. 
• New examples for FPA available: The Nesma standard has been renewed completely in 2018. One of the major changes was that the examples were issued separately, so that they could be renewed at a faster pace. Recently the Counting Practices Committee has released version 2021.1, containing 40 examples to illustrate the application of the standard in practice. Another addition in this version is an improved matrix that shows which guideline is illustrated in which example (also available as a separate download). The new examples can be downloaded for free from the Nesma website via this link and the matrix via this link.
