Introduction: Plan an agile project
In this tutorial, you plan an agile project by using the Scrum process template in IBM® Engineering Workflow Management.
Agile development is an approach to systems and software development and delivery. The
agile method calls for an approach to planning that is characterized by iterations or sprints that
typically last 2 - 6 weeks. Each sprint results in functioning code for a set of specified features.
Planning a release involves these activities:
- Working from the product backlog, which is a high-level, prioritized list that includes the required features or changes for a product
- Deciding which list items can be contained in the upcoming release
- Creating stories, which are short descriptions of the work to be done, and targeting the stories for the release plan
- Dividing the work between sprints in the release plan, breaking the stories into smaller tasks, and assigning the tasks to individual team members
