Individuals & interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right,
we value the items on the left more.

Why Agile?
What Challenge do you have?
What challenges do you have in your environment?
52
Why Agile?
We may have better process efficiency than we ever had before.
How do we improve now?
Is the budget/schedule getting shorter?
How about value delivered & Time to Market?
Business Value
Is prioritization an afterthought?
When/who prioritize features?
Late? may be when we are really sure we can not do it all within the time?

Sprint = Iteration
Discovery Period
During the Discovery Period, the product team identify the features, prioritize the features, and identify a
roadmap for the product. The roadmap will identify the release milestones into production and the features
contained in each releases at a high-level.
Each Sprint deliver (for a subset of Product Backlog) running tested features potentially shippable that the team
can demonstrate to the customer to get feedback
Multiple sprints
usually build up a
release
Agile Product Development
Product Owner with
Stakeholders/PMO
With the help of the Product Owner, the team selects a set of features from the top of the prioritized product
backlog.
Team Spends 2 to 4 hours on the first day of the sprint to break down the features to detail tasks (technical,
testing, documentation, etc) and estimate hours needed to complete them.
Within the sprint the team deliver Running Tested Features along with all the documentation for the selected
features.
The product from the sprint is demonstrated to the customer to get feedback.
Sprints are of the consistent, fixed length for a project, usually 1 week to 4 weeks.
