\"planning\"<\/a>Stopped by to see Jim Highsmith’s<\/a> session to pick up a few good ideas. \u00a0Not surprisingly, there was a good deal of focus on release planning, some focus on value and discussing features along a continuum. \u00a0In many traditionally managed products, there is an emphasis on the up-front planning, or as he termed it “wish-based planning”. \u00a0During this inception stage, management spends a lot of time trying to answer the following questions with a high degree of precision:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What are the main dependencies in this product?<\/li>\n
  2. What sort of risks do we expect? \u00a0How do we mitigate them?<\/li>\n
  3. Do we have enough resources? \u00a0How will they be distributed?<\/li>\n
  4. What sort of value will this product provide?<\/li>\n
  5. How much will it cost us?<\/li>\n
  6. When will the product be delivered?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Of course, Agile products want to answer these questions as well and we often figure this out during release planning. \u00a0We want to know early on if the product is feasible and does it align with out goals and strategic objectives. \u00a0Where Agile teams differ is we recognize the release plan is only a guide and is flexible. \u00a0Another key difference is that an Agile team will estimate on the user story<\/a> level, not at the task level. \u00a0We perform the task estimation Just-In-Time<\/a>. \u00a0The creation of the release plan is really a conversation meant to answer all these questions. \u00a0Finally, while most products benefit from a release plan, there are cases of highly experimental work where an iteration-by-iteration approach is valuable.<\/p>\n

    Another useful concept discussed at the session was the continuum of completeness for features. \u00a0Instead of assuming all features have the same level of completeness, have conversations about what needs to be delivered using this model:<\/p>\n

        simplest -> basic -> nominal -> extensive<\/pre>\n
    With this framework in mind, we now can have discussion around trade-offs and partial delivery. \u00a0Why develop an extensive solution when the market leaders are only providing nominal? \u00a0Is that are market differentiator or just engineering gold-plating? \u00a0Or maybe we can only afford a basic implementation? \u00a0At least we can make these decisions at the product level instead of the engineers making these decisions for us.<\/p>\n
    Finally, Jim made a big point about understanding the value for a feature. \u00a0From his experience, even a fuzzy number around the value for a feature is acceptable if detailed data is unavailable.. \u00a0In his words:<\/p>\n
    “If the product group does not have the time to calculate the value, then the programmers do not have time to estimate the cost.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
