ABSTRACT

In business models favoring transparency, everyone knows how the project is progressing. The team members who touch the product or service evaluate the process frequently and, based on the findings, collaborate on adjustments. In traditional project management, a worthy plan effectively balances the components of time, cost, scope, quality, and expectations. A plan should incorporate the overall expectations, definition, schedule, and risks of the project to the organization as well as the blueprint. Lean and Agile agree that placing an emphasis on the people factor is important in the charter process. Whereas Agile may have a less formal charter focused on ideas and thoughts, the charter in both the Lean and Agile world dictates the project plan. Design deals with learning objectives, assessment instruments, exercises, content, subject matter analysis, lesson planning, and media selection. Trained facilitators cover the course curriculum, learning outcomes, method of delivery, and testing procedures.
