AgilePM Products and Deliverables

AgilePM products are the tangible outputs of the process, and Foundation questions often test which product is created in which phase, who owns it, and what it contains.

The core products

At the outset, the Project Mandate (in Pre-Project) authorises the project and leads to the Terms of Reference. Feasibility produces the Feasibility Assessment and a Business Case outline. Foundations produces the Business Case (refined), the Project Plan, the Solution Foundations, and the Management Approach. Evolutionary Development uses Timeboxes (Timebox Plans), Deployment Plans, and produces the Solution itself.

Prioritisation and requirements products

The Prioritised Requirements List (PRL) holds requirements with their MoSCoW priority and is maintained throughout. The Solution is developed iteratively. The Benefits Realisation Plan is a Post-Project product.

Traps to watch

A frequent trap is confusing the Project Plan (owned by the Project Manager, covering the whole project) with the Timebox Plan (owned by the Solution Development Team, covering one timebox). Another is placing the Business Case in Feasibility only - it is created in outline at Feasibility and refined at Foundations. Also remember the Management Approach defines how the project will be governed.

Worked example

Question: "Which product contains the MoSCoW priorities for requirements?" Reasoning: MoSCoW priorities are recorded against requirements, and the requirements product is the Prioritised Requirements List. The Business Case contains the business justification, not the priorities. Answer: the Prioritised Requirements List.

Rule of thumb: match each product to the phase that produces it, and ask "who owns this and what decision does it support?"
