53 j'aime•16,894 vues
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. Rick Austin illustrates how an organization can move from traditional portfolio management approaches to one that embraces agile software delivery. Doing so enables organizations to become predictable, improve the flow of value delivered, and pivot more quickly if necessary.

- 21. 21 GOVERNANCE Governance is the method for planning, coordinating and tracking requirements. Agile requirements are progressively elaborated from Epics, to Features and finally Stories. A measurable goal intended to deliver on the intent of an Initiative. Epics are defined and validated by Core Product Teams. A new or improved capability of the system. Features deliver a package of functionality that end users would generally expect to get all at once. Stories are small outcomes designed, built, tested, and delivered in 3-5 days. Stories are elaborated collaboratively between Delivery and Program Teams. EPIC FEATURE USER STORY

- 11. We start with high level requirements that become more detailed as we learn more about the product we are building. We start with high level architectural representations that emerge toward detailed design as we actually begin developing the working product. You might think of this as rolling wave planning or progressive elaboration. The idea is that we plan based on what we know, and plan more as we learn more.
