Nice 5.5′ video explaining these two approaches to agile project management. It is also a useful introduction to PMi’s 6 Disciplined Dgile Delivery lifecycles, of which, 4 are based on Scrum and Kanban.

“Focused Solution Team”
A type of Disciplined Agile (DA) team. It was once called “Dedicated Product Team”, a label that provides a useful basic definition. The more detailed explanation here is accessible through and organized via PMI’s DA Browser. It is a lecture style with a slide deck, but also includes a 12′ video. https://www.pmi.org/disciplined-agile/focused-solutions-teams
“Agile Estimation Reference Story Technique”
Good 10 minute explanation of the role of estimation in agile generally, of story points specifically, and of techniques for story point estimation. Some worked examples, and nice whiteboard in support.
“Project Monitoring and Progress Reporting Using Earned Value Analysis Techniques”
