Principles of Agile Planning
Use a hierarchical approach when creating plans, considering different levels of detail and scope. Involve both the team and stakeholders in the planning process to ensure buy-in and understanding. Regularly showcase progress to manage stakeholder expectations and ensure alignment. Adapt the planning process to fit the unique needs and characteristics of the project. Continuously update the plan based on changing priorities and new information. Take into account potential risks, distractions, and team availability when making estimates. Use a range of estimates to reflect the level of uncertainty in the project. Use past completion rates as a basis for future projections. Consider any potential diversions or outside work that may impact the project's progress.
