PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES with William Eastman

EPSIODE 38: PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES We have used this analogy in previous shows but still applies - go slow early to go fast later. We have collaboratively created the purpose and ground rules for group functioning. Now is the time to shift the focus to the details of the project.

Topics: Goals are the customer's, objectives are the team's - what is the big picture (goal) then break it into required activities (objectives). Requirements Matrix Design Matrix Offer Characteristics Matrix Avoid details until the latest possible moment - focus on estimating time and topics. Based on the topics break everything down into the smallest pieces possible - the Sprints. Create a Road Map of how the project will evolve over time - what question/problem/issue is each Sprint solving. Sprint Planning based on the Agile Cycle - include resource requirements.
