Open Discussion on Project Planning Planning in an Agile Environment Key Tenets  Planning should focus strongly on the near term  Eliminate waste caused by planning for eventualities that never come

track progress during a sprint. Figure 3: Example Burn Down Chart Program Backlog – Primary source of all requirements/desired functionality for the program Release Backlog – Subset of the program features the team considers relevant to building the product. The program backlog serves as the primary source for all program requirements and user stories, and the team must prioritize the contents to ensure the acquisition leadership, contracting, test, Certification and Accreditation (C&A), the user community, external systems, and cost and financial support.11 Figure 5: Potential Agile Team Construct

greatest uncertainty—the beginning of the initiative.  Working in an Agile way, we can leave options open and be prepared to accommodate a range of scenarios as the future unfolds.  Jez Humble and his decisions in the normal course of work.  Let’s say that we are deciding between two different open source products for building a piece of the system and do not know enough of their impacts to make the working support a community approach to IT, where IT leaders achieve their objectives by mobilizing the skills and passions of a broad community and encourage the members of that community to work together

reduce cost and risk.  Custom code is almost not custom these days. A developer incorporates open source frameworks, uses standardized design patterns, and orchestrates services that are already available working support a community approach to IT, where IT leaders achieve their objectives by mobilizing the skills and passions of a broad community and encourage the members of that community to work together
