Issues |
| Iteration Planning |
Just before first iteration |
Present the value stream (or program) vision:
- Explain the value in the capability, in more detail than the capability itself if possible.
- List the highest-priority features known at this point.
Evaluate the relative value of the goals of the different teams (with other Product Managers and Product Owners). |
| Product Demonstration and Review |
Just after last iteration |
Assess the acceptability of the iteration build against the acceptance criteria of the MBIs in it. |
| Value Stream Backlog Refinement |
As needed |
Discuss:
- Progress and scope adjustments
- Priority, sequence, capacity impacts
Where changing events during the iteration affect priority or scope, update the backlog accordingly.
- Do everything possible to defer the effect of backlog adjustments until the next iteration (and notify the Product Owners of the affected teams of the impact).
