Agile Inception - The Loop Approach

by Bea Düring, Håkan Kleijn

As Agile coaches, we have noted that some problems re-surface again and again when it comes to adopting or transforming to an agile way of working. Therefore, we would like to share our experiences from various different customer projects. To help organisations to handle these challenges, we base our strategies on the following questions:

• How do you get started with product and release planning?
• How do you accelerate your requirements work?
• How do you scale agile to a multiteam and distributed context, and apply different strategies for agile adoption?
• How do you wrap a minimal project structure around agile teams in a non-invasive way?

In this first of a series of books covering different themes, we present an extensive coaching tool box regarding agile inception work that we want to share with others. Hopefully it will help you, the reader, to invent new creative mistakes instead of re-doing ours.

The ideas in this succinct book resonate with me. The proposed approach leverages and combines the power of different techniques like Impact Mapping, Use Cases, User Stories, User Story Mapping, and Business Canvas Model. The content could had been benefit of more careful editing and could had better structured to avoid duplication.
