idea, lets
check if it
works –

Lean Software Development
Mary and Tom Poppendieck
1. Eliminate waste
2. Amplify learning
3. Decide as late as possible
4. Deliver as fast as possible
5. Empower the team
6. Build integrity in
7. See the whole

Maybe like this?
• Gate 0 – 1
– Define Product and Architectural Epics
– Risk focus
– Risk eliminating sprints
• Gate 1 – 2
– Break down Epics to Features
– Prioritize focus
– Release planning
– Prioritized sprints
• Gate 2 – 4
– Break down of Features to Stories per sprint
– Continuous sprint releases
– Sprint retrospectives
• Gate 4 – 5
– Project finalization
– Project retrospective

Improvements
Epics
Shorten lead times for first time delivery of customer value, PSI multiple times during project life-time
Shorten lead times for first feedback, opportunity to adapt to changing demands and possibility
to close a project without sunk-cost, etc

This requires
• Active “customer”
• Improved release procedure (Goal = Continuous
integration)

Minimum viable product
The benefits of delivery value throughout the project

Don’t deliver something useless

Purpose
Investigate the feasibility of
an idea.
Approve project inception;
Ensure clarity of purpose,
business drivers and scope.
Commit sponsorship and
allocate resources for the
project.
Approve implementation
plan. Verify requirements,
capability to deliver, and
ensure that receiving
organizations are committed
to handover.
Decide on proposed changes
that impact time, scope or
budget.
Verify fulfillment of
deliverables according to G2
(or G3) requirements, and
initiate handover to the
receiving line organizations.
Ensure handover to the
receiving organization
completed , and close the
project.
