RE: [epf-dev] Sequential activity for planning next iteration.
|
Hi Chris,
I agree with your suggestion. The way
I've usually seen this activity performed is to do much of the assessing and
replanning during the iteration, and the "Assess and Plan the Next Iteration" is
a formal meeting at the end of the iteration to acknowledge lessons learned and
get agreement for the new plan. I'd feel better about keeping it as its own
activity separate from Manage Iteration, but running in parallel with
it.
Regarding the success or failure of an iteration, that
refers to how successful the team was in meeting the goals of the iteration:
were all risks planned to be mitigated actually mitigated? Were all the
requirements planned to be implemented actually tested successfully? Maybe we
could re-word it to make that clearer.

Hi All,
Looking at the WBS for the various phases i.e.
inception, elaboration,
construction etc, they all end with a
“sequential†activity for assessing
and planning the next iteration. I
think this is unnecessarily
restrictive. Most other activities are performed
in parallel so why must
the assessment of the current iteration and planning
for the next be
sequential?
As a suggestion couldn’t the planning
tasks be made part of manage
iteration? And don’t we continually assess
status? If there is a
sequential activity at the end of an iteration I’d
rather think of it as
“publish next iteration plan†which could include
a status assessment.
Regarding the stated purpose of the Assess Results
task i.e. “Determine
success or failure of the iteration. Apply the
lessons learned to modify
the project or improve the process.†I don’t
have any problems with the
second sentence but I do with the first sentence,
the “success or
failureâ€. I think if you are applying the process
properly, it cannot be a
“failureâ€, a setback maybe but “success of
failure†promotes the wrong
connotations for iterative development.
