Chapter 6

Preparing the Process

In Chapter 5, “Preparing the Organization,” we examined organizational preparations for agile development. This chapter covers process preparation and offers guidelines for selecting the planning approach, agile framework, techniques, and artifacts for the initiative. The chapter describes how to tune or calibrate the chosen process by customizing the product backlog, including the specification of product backlog item attributes, such as cost of delay and weighted shortest job first (WSJF). It also includes guidelines for planning requirements traceability, specifying the definition of done (DoD) and definition of ready (DoR), forecasting team capacity, and setting Kanban work-in-progress (WIP) limits.
