Agile Planning and Execution

"This course covers the full lifecycle of an Agile project, beginning with planning and going through execution Agile planning has a central purpose for the discovery of an iterative, optimal solution to the main product development constraints of what requirements in what timeline and with what resources. The Agile project planning approach succeeds because it focuses on features rather than tasks, re-planning occurs frequently, plans are developed at different levels (portfolio, product, release, iteration, day) and because the size of a project is treated as separate from the duration of the project’s timeline, which is derived from the project team’s velocity through the decided-upon project size. Agile teams can plan incrementally, starting with the most important features.

Agile execution follows closely with the first iteration. Each iteration is a cycle where the team plans work for that iteration, executes the plan, and demonstrates the results. In addition, they step back to “inspect and adapt” their processes via a retrospective. Activities such as Risk Management, Communications Management, and Quality Assurance all occur within an Agile context. This course will also take a look at how Agile can scale up from the team level to an organizational level."
