James Shore has published an excellent 2 part series of articles covering agile planning through using risk management practices to make solid commitments. The articles show how to use Risk Multipliers to account for common risks such as turnover, changing requirements, work disruption and illustrates the techniques advocated through using 2 pseudo projects. Start with Part 1 that lays the foundation and paints the "all-goes-well" scenario and then continue onto Part 2 that covers the scenario I think most of us are facing on a day-to-day basis. Enjoy.
