Agile Approach
• Phase based project. • Focus on specific key-path scenarios per phase.• Development iterations appropriate for the chosen
scenario. (3 week chunks)• Each developer has a defined amount of working
hours each week. • Each week, the team will meet for a "reality check"
meeting to review our current time estimates and scope.
• A ten minute stand up meeting will also take place each week.
