Module 8 - Planning and Control Flashcards
What are the considerations for DSDM planning?
- Incremental delivery of the solution - in project increments and time boxes
- Quality Assurance of the solution - review and testing activities
What are the 3 Agile Project Planning concepts?
- Outcome based planning
- Planning to sensible horizons at the right level of detail
- Plan and replan based on best avaliable estimates
What is outcome based planning?
Outcome based planning is a concept that considers the framework of empowerment that exists in the hierarchy of a DSDM project
Explain the planning to sensible horizons at the right level of detail concept?
It considers the period of time to be covered by the plan eiter through deliver plan horizon or timebox plan
Explain the plan and replan based on best available estimates concept
The concept considers the refinement of predictions of what will be delivered within the fixed timeframe
What are the different testing concepts using in DSDM planning and control?
- Testing integrated throughout
- Collaborative testing
- Repeatable testing
- Prioritised testing
- Independent testing
- Test driven development
What is the concept of collaborative testing?
It is about sakeholders collaborating during testing to increase the productivity of the test fix and retest cycle
What is the concept of repeatable testing?
Is about testing not only the new features but also what has been built previously
What is the concept of prioritised testing?
Is about testing the prioritised parts as opposed to testing all aspects of the solution as it evolves
What is the concept of independent testing?
is about testing the prioritised parts as opposed to testing all aspects of the solution as it evolves
What is the concept of test driven development?
Is about ensuring the design and build of the test preceders development of the solution and helps define the requirement
What are the DSDM tracking and control concepts?
- Timeboxing and outcome based measurement
- Transparency of process and progress
- Responding to change and management by exception
Explain the Timeboxing and outcome based measurement?
Is about the use of timeboxes to provide a structure of nested plans to support outcome based measurements
Explain the transparency of progress and process concept?
Is about the use of a team board and the daily stadup to show transparency
What is the team board?
It is used to make the detailed plan and the activity against the plan visible to everybody
