Abstract

Agile approaches including XP and Scrum grew out of one particular team's practice, so its advice contains hidden assumptions we need to identify. If we do not, we risk seeing these techniques fail a team, or a team fail with these techniques. This report describes one team's experience learning adaptive planning, and the steps it took to augment the out-of-the-box process that the agile literature suggests. It shows how the team's environment has motivated these changes while allowing the team to continue to engage in an evidence-based continuous improvement program.
