”Start with what you have”
No estimation
No sprints
No teams
No fixed
domain areas
We changed a lot
”When are you going
  to be working on
    my feature?!
Having a plan that changes
  is better than not having
             a plan
Collaboratively creating a
 plan is a an effective way
   of communicating the
    reasoning behind it
A transparent, visualized
   plan is a great way of
 communicating direction
       to developers
Keys to success


     •  Collaboration

     •  Transparency

     •  Pessimism
Thanks!
