Abstract:
An Agile Approach for Business-As-Usual Projects: Whether providing dedicated production support or dividing time between new development and maintenance activities, a framework for managing business as usual (BAU) / maintenance projects is required to insure a Team(s) can balance competing mandates from stakeholders across the Portfolio as well as the technical enterprise. This session will propose agile strategies for managing an Enhancement Backlog, System Support Backlog and Defect Backlog independently or as a single prioritized consolidated pipeline. Thereafter Agile BAU Models used successfully in the financial services industry will be shown to further exemplify these approaches.
