AGILE Artifacts

     

    The matrix below depicts the Agile artifacts and provides a description of each artifact. Please note that projects that are a part of the Agile Project Type have different phases than the traditional Predictive Focused PPM model. For more information and guidance on Agile, please refer to the Agile Project Type Guide. Artifacts are templates in which to document the work performed by the project team as it proceeds through the Agile PPM Life Cycle and conducts the tasks and activities necessary to deliver an IT system or service.

     

    For your convenience, the artifacts are provided in PDF and either Word, Excel or MS Project formats depending on the artifact.

    Should you require additional guidance completing the artifacts or if you have any suggestions on how we can improve any of the artifacts, kindly email your inquiry or feedback to PPM@hud.gov.
