The AGILE PPM method is based on three core tenets: program validation, release planning, and release readiness. This method helps to deliver value on a continual basis through streamlined and predictable practices.

 

Program Validation

Verifies that there is a structured idea of how project will be managed with the Project Oversight Plan. Ensures initial privacy, security, and architecture assessment has been done. Review is held with the Technical Review Sub-Committee (TRC).

Release Planning

Initial Release Planning Review (RPR) before the first sprint to validate and approve the Product Backlog and other initial project artifacts. No formal reviews are required to complete subsequent Sprint Planning and continue to the Sprint Activity. Verifies that the project management plan, subsidiary plans, and technical/engineering plans are adequate and consistent with all applicable standards, regulations, and guidelines. Review is held with the Technical Review Sub-Committee (TRC).

Release Readiness

Confirms that production enabling systems, processes, and materials are in place, including operations and maintenance support. Review is conducted prior to a release being put into production. Review is held with the Technical Review Sub-Committee (TRC).
