Hi there,

And thanks for letting me join your community. I'm new to Agile Scrum and have a question.

I'm trying to develop a project plan in Project 2010. it's to develop a data warehouse. For the iterations I want to be able to develop a prototype for users at each stage. Any feed back will be incorporated into the solution.

So for the first sprint it would be to get user requirements set up, a data model produced and then a quick development of the requirements so far for a prototype and given to the user to test. After that, the more complex work of developing that part of the solution will be the next sprint.

How do I incorporate the prototype within the sprints between before the heavy development work?

Sorry if I've not been clear but any advice on how to fit prototypes into the sprints would be appreciated.

Thanks

Why not work with whoever wants this to elicit a Product Backlog instead? Teams can then deliver increasingly mature product increments every Sprint. The work to be done each Sprint would be determined not by a plan but by empirical delivery and feedback.

Thanks for the reply Ian. I had it in mind to use a product backlog within the plan. I guess the Project 2010 is just another way of time boxing Sprints.

I'll have a think about it.

Cheers
