Contrary to popular belief, agile projects require as much planning as any other project type – it is the timing of this planning, and how we attempt to minimize wasted effort that is different from other approaches. To many people, working in an agile manner means little or no planning, or planning at the last possible moment (e.g. writing user stories for the upcoming iteration during the iteration planning meeting). While this may work in a very small project, with a close-knit, highly-effective, very small team, for larger projects this becomes problematic.
Scrum Training • Following the key principles of scaling agile development, our Project Launch service helps your organization plan “just enough” of the new initiative to develop something, test it, and determine what the next set of things to launch should be based on the results. Quite honestly, this is an ongoing activity, not a single event. As with all of our services, we are here to make you self-sufficient in launching projects, supporting you when you need it, and leaving you to experiment and try things on your own when you feel ready.
Product Owner • Daily Stand-up • Never thought about the daily stand-up as a planning opportunity? Well, it is the ideal opportunity to plan the next short horizon of work – 1 day. • Rather than focusing on “what I did yesterday” (one of the 3-questions of a stand-up), I prefer team members to tell the team what they plan on doing today, and asking for help if they need it. This allows other team members to quickly identify if there is a potential for road-blocks of their work, and decide if they have something to add to another team members efforts.
