Project Brief

Tailoring

The following should be considered in Agile environments:

The project definition should be more outcome-oriented rather than output-oriented, since the output (product) will evolve throughout the project.
The project approach should explain how Agility will be implemented in the project and what kind of Agile delivery method will be used.
The role descriptions should explain the Agile roles and responsibilities involved in the delivery level.

The suitability of Agile for the project should be assessed during the pre-project period, through the Starting up a Project Process, using The Agilometer. The results will be captured in the Project Brief, and later one, elaborated and moved to the Project Initiation Documentation in the Initiating a Project Process.

Notes:

The above image assumes that Scrum is used in the delivery level, which is not necessary.
The number of stages, releases, and Sprints are just examples, as well as the exception in the third stage.
The diagram is schematic and many details are not shown.
