Planning

 Overview

Planning of the project is an important part of management. It is a requirement before starting the project in order to understand when it is started, processed and finished. It helps to plan the resources, project execution and testing.

Flow

• When there is a ready to go scope, all of the tasks and epics must be entered into Jira and added estimation time.

• If the resources are already known, it is important to assign tasks to each member of the team

• Afterwards it is important to make a planning with all the further sprints and divide the tasks into them. 

• There will be also major tasks within each projects, that will be on a daily basis (communication) and at the beginning of the project (environment creation)

• Schedule daily meetings with the team in the calendar via zoom and create a space in Confluence for notes

 Tips and tricks


• If the project is small (2-3 months), it might be better to work with 1 week sprints and show a demo once in 2 sprints

• If the project is medium or big (3 months and beyond), it is better to work with 2 week sprints and have a demo with the customer each sprint

• Planning for medium and big projects must be done with the whole team (or at least with the teamleads)
