Background
• Some Project history:
The assigned project was initially designated to use the Iterative method of project delivery.
After several release cycles using that method, it was proving to be too cumbersome a delivery model for the business community to support in the timeframe needed .
A switch to the Agile framework/ SCRUM delivery method was selected in order to best meet Program-level speed-to-market initiatives.
