Module 5: AGILE ANALYSIS & DESIGN

Agile analysis and design starts with creating the roadmap for the product,

which is often a high-level view of how the sponsor or the customer wants the features to be released. Based on this, the requirements are elaborated further to come to a point when all the doubts are clarified and it is ready for implementation. Agile modeling and business analysis modeling are the cornerstone in this stage. This stage will focus to learn about models and understand the difference between agile and business analysis modeling, how they are interacting, and how to select and use the set of the models.

Module 8: Planning 1, Monitoring and Adapting

In the dynamic project environment shifting from the traditional Predictive

Planning model to more flexible Adaptive Planning model is the need of the hour. Preparing a detailed plan (predictive planning) too far into the future can be wasteful because changes will inevitably happen and they cannot be predicted. Plan can be created with confidence only up to the point where predictability moves into uncertainty. It is safe to plan in detail up to this point, but beyond it you should plan with a decreasing level of detail and precision.
Introduction

Progressive elaboration
Iteration and release planning
Daily planning

Module 9: Planning 2, Agile Metrics and Estimations

Agile project plan evolves progressively and so does

the estimate of an Agile project. During release planning the epics are being estimated rather than user stories. Of course the epics are the high level user stories and so they are estimated at a high level, with relative complexity measurement usually using qualitative technique. Quantitative technique may not be possible at the high level; even if done it is subject to change because of uncertainty and so it may not be accurate, hence we follow only qualitative technique at the higher levels.

Module 10: Planning 3,Agile Project Risk Management

Agile projects are fitting into the environment where there are

uncertainties. Risks come along with uncertainties; in fact, it is the direct outcome of uncertainties. Agile projects have its own inbuilt risk handling mechanism, well aligned with quick risk identification, responding and controlling mechanism. The iterative nature of Agile projects identifies risks earlier in the project execution and also the risk process repeats for each and every iteration, thereby managing it in a better way.

Quality is defined as the degree to which a set of inherent

characteristics fulfill requirements. Grade is a rank or category measuring features or characteristics of a product. Low quality is always a problem while low grade is not. Total cost of all efforts related to quality throughout the product life cycle is called cost of quality.
