2. Determine how to plan project iterations

Task 2 delves into the planning of project iterations in Agile projects. You distinguish the logical units of iterations, interpret their benefits and limitations, and translate the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to an adaptive iteration. Determining the inputs for scope helps in setting clear boundaries for each iteration. Moreover, you understand the significance of adaptive project tracking, which differs from traditional predictive, plan-based tracking.

The task ‘Determine how to plan project iterations’ includes the following enablers:

  • Distinguish the logical units of iterations.
  • Interpret the pros and cons of the iteration.
  • Translate this WBS to an adaptive iteration.
  • Determine inputs for scope.
  • Explain the importance of adaptive project tracking versus predictive, plan-based tracking.
