Main Description |
Project progress can be measured by understanding how the product is evolving compared to what has been
requested to be done. Working demonstrations of the product can provide this comparison.
A work items list can also provide information about remaining work at any point in time. It consists of requirements
of any nature (functional, non-functional), requests for changes, design constraints, infrastructure, architecture
and technology work, and so on. See Concept: Requirements and Concept: Change Requests for types of work items that can be captured in this
list.
This list is constantly updated with new entries, as the stakeholders have new requests, as the project evolves and the
team better understands the problem domain and technology being used, and so on. Work is constantly updated in terms of
priority, estimated effort (in days) and planned release, so at each iteration, tasks are assigned to team members
in order to address the planned work.
For more information, see concept of "Product Backlog" in [SCH04].
