Unfortunately, there’s a lot of silence about what happens before iteration 1. But isn’t everything supposed to happen after the first iteration? Doesn’t the Product Backlog just evolve on its own after starting the project?

Yes, we could just get started with a number of user stories. And we would make some progress and get some things done. But is that really effective? Are we reaching the full potential of what could be created?

There are some key elements you should have in place before the first iteration. Let’s state (or re-state) the overall vision and purpose of the product. We need to truly understand the people who are going to use it, for now, and for the future. And let’s analyze what can affect our outcome. These critical factors will inform the initial product backlog creation.

Having these important things will ensure a better start for your Agile project.

What You Will Learn

After this one-hour session, learners will be able to:

• Identify the key factors that contribute to a successful Agile project start
• Focus on personas and journey maps and a business canvas
• Recognize the attribute of an initial product backlog

The best project practitioners tailor their leadership approach to meet the needs of the deliverables, the environment, and their stakeholders.

Both waterfall and Agile methods rely on process. With waterfall you might have detailed scope definition, robust schedules, and rigorous change control processes.

With Agile you might focus on three stand-up questions, iteration planning, demonstrations, and productive retrospectives.

Process is great, but we have to move beyond following a process without questioning if it is the most effective way to deliver value. That’s the beauty of hybrid project management. Hybrid project management is about delivering value – not simply following a process.

What You Will Learn

• Identify variables to determine the best approach for delivering your project
• Recognize hybrid approaches for organizing and prioritizing scope
• Describe options for blending waterfall and adaptive schedules
• Consider ways to track progress with hybrid projects
