HOW TO AVOID MANAGING YOUR AGILE PROJECT INTO A CORNER

You’re trying to get work done faster, so you use an agile approach and focus on creating a minimal viable product (MVP). Unfortunately MVP is frequently misapplied. Instead of creating an MVP, the first release becomes version 1.0 of your product with a core set of completed features. A better approach is to have a broader set of partially completed features and use the MVP to gain feedback and enhance flexibility on release dates. Planning an MVP around business scenarios by melding features helps tremendously to ensure that you can release sooner and avoid managing yourself into a corner.

This presentation will show you an example of a poorly composed list of work (product backlog) and will then explain several strategies for organizing the work around business scenarios. Finally, we will walk through the example backlog and apply the strategy to show you exactly how to organize the backlog. In the end you will have a solid understanding of organizing your backlog, so that you can see how to apply the strategy in your business and not create an MVP that backs you into a corner for functionality and dates.
