11. Scope definition, WBS creation, scope verification
occur iteratively in Agile
During Release Planning features are defined at a high-
level and placed in iterations
Once iteration begins, features slated for that iteration
are elaborated (Just-in-time elaboration )

17. PMBOK does NOT prescribe waterfall method
• PMBOK has been taken as a “must-have” and a framework has
been erected for software projects (“Waterfall”)
PMBOK mentions progressive elaboration and rolling-
wave planning
Key difference is the emphasis in PMBOK on formal
documentation

18. Myth that Agile is unstructured
PMBOK strengths
Clear guidance on initiation and closure
Communication management and integration management
Cost Management
Risk management
Agile strengths (not referenced within PMBOK)
Cross-functional empowered teams
Flexibility and adaptability
Strong customer focus
Just enough rigor and documentation

20. Scrum Is an Innovative Approach to
Getting Work Done
• Scrum is an agile framework for completing
complex projects. Scrum originally was
formalized for software development projects,
but works well for any complex, innovative
scope of work. The possibilities are endless. The
Scrum framework is deceptively simple.

21. Empiricism
• Detailed up-front planning and defined processes are replaced by just-in-
time Inspect and Adapt cycles
Self-Organization
• Small teams manage their own workload and organize themselves around
clear goals and constraints
Prioritization
• Do the next right thing
Rhythm
• Allows teams to avoid daily noise and focus on delivery
Collaboration
• Leaders and customers work with the Team, rather than
directing them

highly recommended

estimation and planning

understand organizational cultures

very useful for retrospectives and other potentially conflictive meetings

for beginners.
