I believe in this concept, but the implementation
described above is
risky and invites failure.

22. Increment 1
 DONE
 Potentially
shippable
 Increment

23. Increment 2

24. Increment 3 - …

25. Agile is process to create
products or services
in increments!

28. Agile project plan (Product Backlog)
• Project is executed feature by feature (size):
– Feature 1 (20)
– Feature 2 (40)
– Feature 3 (20)
– Feature 4 (40)
– Feature 5 (20)
– Feature 6 (40)
• TOTAL (180)

29. Agile project plan (Product Backlog)
• Project is executed feature by
feature (size):
– Feature 1 (20)
– Feature 2 (40)
– Feature 3 (20)
– Feature 4 (40)
– Feature 5 (20)
– Feature 6 (40)
• TOTAL (180)
• Early signs if we estimation was
right:
– Feature 1 (20) – finished in
30 
– Feature 2 (40)
– Feature 3 (20)
– Feature 4 (40)
– Feature 5 (20)
– Feature 6 (40)
• TOTAL (180) – is it really 180?
• Feature priorities can be changed:
– Feature 1 (20)
– Feature 2 (40)
– Feature 5 (20) – important
– Feature 3 (20)
– Feature 4 (40)
– Feature 6 (40)
• TOTAL (180)
• Features can be exchanged
(with the same size):
– Feature 1 (20)
– Feature 2 (40)
– Feature 3 (20)
– Feature 7 (40) – new
– Feature 4 (20)
– Feature 5 (40)
• TOTAL (180)

30. Different assumptions
Traditional
 Client knows what he
wants
 Creators know how to
create
 Nothing will change
Agile
 Client will figure out what
he wants
 Creators will find out how
to create
 There will be changes

41. Agile works in projects? In outsourced ones?
 Outsourcing exec urges: ‘Stop outsourcing
your software development’
 Unless you absolutely have to. And
unless you do it with Agile. More
specifically, Scrum.
