Long synopsis (optional):
The purpose of the early stages of any project (i.e. inception or discovery) must be to determine feasibility and de-risk the subsequent project proper. In practice this means answering the question of what we believe we can deliver with fairly high confidence within the given constraints of the project (budget, time, quality, expectations (i.e. goals/value) and the domain (people, tools, technology). This will allow us to start the project proper under the right assumptions, be aware of challenges and risks and literally hit the ground running, thus contributing as major factor into ultimate project success (or being able to make the decision to pivot or not conduct the project at all at a very early stage. In case of the greenfield project the goal was to build sufficient understanding to be able to define a valuable and realistic release1 (MVP) roadmap, while in the case of the brownfield project, the challenge was more in terms of decomposing / splitting an existing monolithic application in the right way. Besides illustrating how theses challenges were addressed in practice, this talk outlines a generic inception framework and suggests a range of techniques, tools and methodologies out of which agile project teams can ‘compose’ a skeleton framework to address the challenges they face in their projects, always — of course — with the key goal in mind of mitigating risks and delivering value early! while staying close to user and business, and focus on keeping quality high and build trusted relationships with their clients.
