I believe in this concept, but the implementation described above is

risky and invites failure.

Agile project plan (Product Backlog)

• Project is executed feature by feature (size):– Feature 1 (20)– Feature 2 (40)– Feature 3 (20)– Feature 4 (40)– Feature 5 (20)– Feature 6 (40)

• TOTAL (180)

Agile project plan (Product Backlog)

• Project is executed feature by feature (size):– Feature 1 (20)– Feature 2 (40)– Feature 3 (20)– Feature 4 (40)– Feature 5 (20)– Feature 6 (40)

• TOTAL (180)

• Early signs if we estimation was right:– Feature 1 (20) – finished in 30 – Feature 2 (40)– Feature 3 (20)– Feature 4 (40)– Feature 5 (20)– Feature 6 (40)

• TOTAL (180) – is it really 180?

• Feature priorities can be changed:– Feature 1 (20)– Feature 2 (40)– Feature 5 (20) – important– Feature 3 (20)– Feature 4 (40)– Feature 6 (40)

• TOTAL (180)

• Features can be exchanged(with the same size):– Feature 1 (20)– Feature 2 (40)– Feature 3 (20)– Feature 7 (40) – new– Feature 4 (20)– Feature 5 (40)

• TOTAL (180)

Different assumptions

Traditional Client knows what he wants

Creators know how to create

Nothing will change

Agile Client will figure out what he

wants

Creators will find out how to create

There will be changes

Agile works in projects? In outsourced ones?

Outsourcing exec urges: ‘Stop outsourcing your software development’

Unless you absolutely have to. And

unless you do it with Agile. More

specifically, Scrum.
