Agile Release Plans: On-Demand While many Agile frameworks provide guidance on a focus on value and iterative development, many do not explain how that value is delivered to the customer. Release Plans have become an accepted and common practice to bridge the gap between the Product Vision and the Product Backlog (Agile requirements). In this course, you will be provided with an introduction to Agile and to Scrum, the most utilized Agile framework. You will also learn how the Vision, Roadmap, and Charter help to establish the Release Plan. The goal of this course is to equip you with the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques to build Release Plans to ensure you deliver the most value to your customers. What you will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Recall the Scrum framework elements (roles, events, and artifacts) Examine the benefits of Agile Develop a Product Vision and Roadmap Create an Agile Project Charter Prepare a Release Plan Write user stories to support a Product Backlog Foundation Concepts Introduction to Scrum Scrum Overview Agile Benefits Product Definition Business Goals Product Vision Product Roadmap Agile Project Charter Product Scope Project Risks Release Deadlines Sprint Durations Team Norms Release Planning Release Plan Process Select Stories and a Release Date Product Backlog User stories Building the product backlog Product Backlog Refinement Transitioning to the Scrum Team
Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects: On-Demand The concept of Agile project management refers to an iterative, incremental approach to managing the design and development of a product, service or result. The goal of this approach is to use it to manage the project in a way that is very flexible and interactive with the customer and/or end user, resulting in added value to the business. The concept of Waterfall project management refers to the use of a number of tools and techniques. A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) details 5 process groups: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. As per the PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition, there are 49 processes entailed in these 5 process groups, which are focused on enabling project teams to deliver products to a pre-determined and agreed requirements/ specification. The selection of the most appropriate project management approach has, historically, been a choice of 'either/or' when it comes to these two approaches. It is now becoming clear that for many projects, the selection of a single project management approach does not satisfy the efficiency of the project team nor does it optimize the return on investment for the sponsoring organization. A different strategy is needed. "Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects" presents an approach to project management which capitalizes on the most appropriate elements of each approach, tailored to the specific project being undertaken. In this course, the Waterfall approach will be based on the PMBOK® Guide (predictive life-cycle). Each approach will be presented to highlight its particular strategy and strengths. The course will also propose project scenarios that require the project team to use a hybrid method which brings together aspects of both approaches. What You Will Learn You'll learn how to: Identify the strengths that the Waterfall approach brings to project work Identify the strengths that the Agile approach brings to project work Exploit the strengths of each method by combining their practices and protocols to maximize the potential for return on investment The Waterfall Approach to Competing Demands Optimization Foundation Concepts Getting Started The Agile Approach to Competing Demands Optimization Key Facets between Waterfall and Agile Examples for Implementing a Hybrid Approach The Challenges for the 'Combination' Project Management Team Practicing the Hybrid Approach Summary and Next Steps
