One way is in Estimating Budget/Time/Resources by doing both WBS with Solution BackLog work. It gave much better estimates that the "team" bought-in on as well. I call it "WBS-agile style". You can find the latest on PMI Agile Community of Practice, by loggin in to PMI and searching on “<em>PMI Agile Community of Practice</em>” and join (it’s free). You’ll find many valuable sources of information, including the Business Plan for the Agile PMI Forum. It contains a wealth of information about the proliferation of agile project management practices as well. Someone asked me “Why would you do this?”
