(Theory and Execution)
Elliot Susel, Agile Project Manager
Flexibility from agile is great…
But how the heck do I track and plan through uncertainty?
Conflicting Interests
What Executives Want vs. Agile Methodology
Big picture understandingof features
Smallest possibledecomposition of features
Set deadlines andrelease dates
Select content only at thestart of a sprint
The Solution?
Map the details back to thebig picture
Story Maps
Visual representation of the big picture (content and timeframes)
Display costs of features
Nice theory…
But how exactly do we execute on this?
Building a Story Map
Add tracking in your backlog for “Epic” and “Feature Group”
Trace all User Stories up to Epics Trace all Epics up to Feature Groups
Use velocity to determine feature completion dates
Prioritize the backlog Calculate the total point cost per epic and feature group Use prioritization, point costs, and velocity to calculate completion
