YDS: How Can We Do Agile Release Planning with Dependent Teams?

This video explores how to handle Agile release planning, especially when working with dependent teams. Despite Agile's emphasis on minimal upfront planning, some level of planning and forecasting is essential to address marketing timelines and budget constraints. We discuss using historical data or best estimates to create flexible forecasts and how to engage stakeholders, including marketing teams, throughout the process. By involving them in sprint reviews and keeping them updated on scope changes, we ensure everyone is on the same page. Continuous forecast updates are crucial for managing customer expectations and aligning with marketing plans. Lastly, we emphasize the importance of negotiating scope over sticking rigidly to initial plans, allowing for adjustments based on updated forecasts to meet fixed budgets and timelines while delivering a product that meets market expectations.

Yea, I like the ability to be flexible that Agile promotes but when people act like because they are doing Agile they don't need to plan it makes my head hurt. Why wouldn't you want to create as many PBI's as possible to try and figure out how you're going to get to your end goal, as well as think about risks. Doesn't mean you have to execute on every one of them, as you'll learn more as you go.
