Best Practices

  • Backlog management is a continuous, ongoing process. PI Planning is the time to focus on “bigger picture” items.
  • Treat planning as a facilitation activity; make content available ahead of time.
  • Keep everything in your issue tracking tool (sounds obvious but…).
  • Keep Risk Management simple (ROAM - Resolve, Own, Accept, Mitigate).
  • Have a documented voting process so everyone understands. But be prepared to evolve it as needed.
  • Having a sprint “theme” can be useful to help keep epics and stories aligned.
