AgilePM Products and Deliverables
Key products across the lifecycle
AgilePM defines a set of products that are created and evolved throughout the lifecycle. In Feasibility, the Feasibility Assessment and Outline Plan are produced. In Foundations, the Business Case, Prioritised Requirements List (PRL), Solution Architecture Definition, Development Approach Definition, Delivery Plan, Management Approach Definition, and Risk Log are created. During Evolutionary Development, the Timebox Plan, Timebox Review Record, and Solution Increment are produced. In Deployment, the Deployment Plan, Benefits Realisation Plan, and Deployed Solution are key.
The Prioritised Requirements List (PRL) is central: it contains all requirements with MoSCoW priorities and is the basis for planning and timeboxing. The Business Case is a living document, updated at each phase gate. The Timebox Review Record captures what was achieved in a timebox and is used for control.
Traps and worked example
Candidates often mix up products from different phases. For example, the PRL is created in Foundations, not in Feasibility (Feasibility produces an outline). Also, the Solution Architecture Definition is not a technical design document but a high-level definition of the solution's structure.
Worked example: If asked which product is used to prioritise requirements, the answer is the PRL. If asked where the business case is first developed, it is in Foundations (Feasibility provides an outline business case).
Rule of thumb: Remember that products in Foundations are about establishing firm foundations: business case, requirements, architecture, and plans.
