Agile Project Management – Part 6
Agile Phases
Below are the steps followed in the Agile values and principles:
Initiate: In this phase, the initiation of the activities for the project is done. The teams aim to achieve a stakeholder consensus about the project objectives and get the funds necessary to develop the project.
Plan and Estimate: In this phase, planning and the estimation of tasks are done. The phase takes its inputs from the outputs of the previous phase, which include Prioritised Product Backlog, Done Criteria and Personas.
Implement: In this phase, the activities and tasks outlined in the Effort Estimated Task List are executed in a bid to create a working product of the project. The main inputs to this Agile phase include the Sprint Backlog and the Prioritised Product Backlog. The various project deliverables are created, Daily Stand-up Meetings conducted as well as backlog refinement, which involves the reviewing, fine-tuning and updating of the Product Backlog.
Review and Retrospective: In this phase, the work which has been done or the deliverables are reviewed. This is done in a bid to ensure that the team has developed the right product, which means that there is a high chance of the customers accepting it. Ways which can help in the improvement of the project work are determined. The newly found ways will be used in the next sprint so as to ensure that a better product than the previous one is released to the customers.
