Lessons Learned

• Ecosystem

• What We Learned

Agile development works best when:

• The organization is ready to be agile (Buy In).Both client and contractor.

Agile development works best when:

• The client is the Product Owner and understands what that entails (or an outside PO has enough time to become a Subject Matter Expert).

Agile development works best when:

• The Product Owner is available to work with the implementation team: clarifying requirements, setting work priorities, reviewing completed work.

Agile development works best when:

• The Product Owner acts as the conduit between stakeholders and implementation team.
