Inputs the Client Checkpoint Questions to Be Answered During Client

Checkpoint Adjusting Functionality for the Next Cycle

Plan

Explain the significance of each input to the client checkpoint

Assess the status of the completed cycle relative to its plan

Describe the inputs to the next cycle plan Explain the outputs of the client

checkpoint

Planned versus Actual Functionality Added Why wasn’t the planned functionality added in

this cycle? Explain how the functionality will be added in

future cycles Scope Bank

Let customer decide what proposed changes will be added in future cycles


What was planned? What was done? Is the version scope still valid? Is the team working as expected? What was learned?


Inputs Any functionality completed during the previous cycle Any functionality planned but not completed in the

previous cycle The functionality planned for this cycle The functionality planned for all the cycles beyond the

next one All learning and discovery that took place in all previous

cycles (Scope Bank) Any items still remaining on the Issues Log Any changes that took place in the business

environment during the previous cycles


Outputs Updated functionality list Reprioritized functionality list Next cycle length


Checking Explicit Business Outcomes Reviewing Lessons Learned for Next

Version Functionality Assessing APF for Improvements

Explain the significance of the Post-Version Review

Describe the deliverables from a Post-Version Review

Conduct a Post-Version Review Extract lessons learned from the version

project


To Improve Product To Improve Process To Determine if Business Value is Being

Delivered


Check Explicit Business Outcomes The success of the APF project is the business

value it delivered Review Lessons Learned for Next Version

Functionality Assess APF for Improvements


Proof-of-Concept Cycle Revising the Version Plan Embedding the APF in Other Approaches Extreme Project Management Comparing Project Approaches

Embed the APF in other approaches Use the APF for proof of concept Adapt the APF to revise the version plan Identify an extreme project Describe the four phases of the Extreme

Project Management approach Understand how Extreme Project

Management clarifies the goal and converges to a solution


Proof-of-Concept Cycle Used to help make business case for project First cycle of APF project Steps

The creation of a prototype A feasibility study The writing of use cases Storyboarding Any other activity to demonstrate business plan

Revising Version Plan The first few cycles generates numerous change ideas

and issues Client may decide to change version plan


In TPM In the WBS, leave a functionality undefined Place undefined functionality in Network

Diagram Use APF for the undefined functionality


High Speed – Project is innovative, groundbreaking, and vital to organization. Speed is essential

High Change – Uncertainty about goal and solution necessitates constant change

High Uncertainty – Time and cost are unknown


Iterative After each cycle, decision

made to continue or cancel Scope is unknown Client most involved (makes

decision to go on) No constrained scope triangle


Define the Project Goal xPM Project Overview Statement Establish a Project Timebox and Cost Establish Number of Cycles and Cycle

Length Trade-Offs in the Scope Triangle


Defining How the Project Will Be Done Conditions of Satisfaction Scenarios, Stories, and Use Cases Prioritizing Requirements Identifying the First Cycle Deliverables Go / No-Go Decision Planning for Later Cycles


How this Phase Differs Time for exploration and discovery Subteams share ideas and information

Assign Resources Establish Cycle Plan Collaboratively Produce Deliverables


Apply Learning and Discovery from the Previous Cycle

Revise the Project Goal Reprioritize Requirements Make the Go / No-Go Decision for the

Next Cycle
