This document describes two different processes - Waterfall and Agile - for a product owner challenge. Under the Waterfall process, there are 4 phases: 1) upfront planning, 2) defining requirements, 3) building the product, and 4) testing the product. The Agile process involves the product owner explaining the product vision through user stories, estimating story sizes, defining sprints to finish stories, building and testing the product, and adjusting planning as needed. A time-keeper will record metrics like time spent on each phase and number of defects for each process.

Process Card “Waterfall”

4 Phases:
1. Do an upfront planning at the beginning: “Project ends in x minutes”
2. Define the requirements – PO explains the team what to build
3. Build the product – developers build the product
4. Test the product – PO and team compare product built with building instructions.
Adjust planning if needed
Time-Keeper
Takes time for each phase. Records two KPIs. Takes notes of striking features.
• Time for Planning: ___________ min
• Time for Requirements Elicitation ___________ min
• Time for Building ___________ min
• KPI A: Numbers of deficiencies to original ___________ defects
• KPI B: how often PO steps back to check instructions ____________ walk backs
• KPI C: how exact was planning? ____________ %
