Day 1: Establishing Projects and Selecting Delivery Approaches

Applied Project Initiation

• Define need intended result and sponsor
• Prepare initial scope with clear boundaries
• Identify stakeholders and success criteria
• Draft a simplified project charter

Initial Project Plan

• Break deliverables into major work components
• Identify milestones resources and responsibilities
• Estimate an initial execution sequence
• Build a simple project plan

Choosing the Delivery Approach

• Distinguish stable work from high-change work
• Compare complete and incremental delivery
• Identify outputs suitable for early testing
• Analyze case to select delivery approach

Day 2: Agile Delivery, Monitoring, and Closeout

Work Ordering and Incremental Delivery

• Organize project work in simplified Backlog
• Order items by value and risk
• Select a short deliverable work increment
• Frame goal for short delivery cycle

Inspection and Adaptation

• Present an output to relevant stakeholders
• Collect feedback connected with actual use
• Adjust priorities using what team learned
• Simulate review of an incremental delivery

Integrated Monitoring and Closeout

• Update overall plan after each increment
• Protect scope and decisions from change
• Verify acceptance of the final result
• Document learning and formally close project

• One project case combining planning and incremental delivery
• Worksheets covering scope plan and simplified Backlog
• Feedback and reprioritization exercises
• Simulation ending with organized delivery and closeout
