Product Visioning for Agile and Large Scale Projects

Overview

This is an on-line one-day course taught live by one of our senior consultants from our state of the art video-conferencing facility.

This course focuses on the initial project activities to understand the vision and scope of a system or product to be designed, enhanced or sourced.

To start a project or determine its feasibility you need to understand what it is — sufficiently enough enable effective planning and decision making. Not detailed specifications but just enough requirements. This basic foundation defined as early as possible is essential regardless of the development approach. These high-level requirements can be defined surprisingly easily and quickly with the right methods. The lean agile approach encourages the elaboration of detail over time and also recognizes that requirements and scope will change and evolve. Establishing a clear vision and solid foundation allows businesses to understand the objectives and fundamental characteristics of the proposed solution to best enable effective planning and development.

This class provides a variety of practical methods to efficiently describe a sufficiently detailed vision and scope to begin a project. BAs, PMs, SCRUM Masters and Product Owners will learn how to collaboratively develop and reach agreement to these high-level requirements using a set of proven agile, business analysis, and lean project management techniques. This course has been designed specifically to align with a traditional, iterative, SCRUM, SAFe, DSDM, and Lean approaches, and to support IIBA BABOK, PMI PBA and PMBOK, and IREB CPRE standards.
