About this template

Agile plan template

Agile planning is a way to capture an accurate description of the work that needs to be done. Use this template to discuss plans, features, and specifications from the agile projects. It will be useful for you if you are a product owner.

Write down a summary of your project, adding key points.

Also, write down the epics (the major stages) of a project.

Add the sprints. They are groups of users’ ideas that can be demonstrated and used.

Type in the users’ stories and make a list of users (people that will interact with the solution). Do not use users’ names, but their roles based on the task they will perform.

Project Name

Begin by typing in the name of your project, then press Enter.

Sprints

Sprints are groups of user Stories that fit together well enough to be demonstrated and used. Sprints are defined by timeboxing, and also by what is practical to deliver and use.

Identify Sprint groupings from your stories and add them here.

Story

Type in a user story, in the following format:

'As a [A], I need to [B], so that I can [C]'
where:
[A] is a user role,
[B] is what the user needs to do, and
[C] is why they need to do it.

Feature, function or task

• What features, functions or tasks will be needed to deliver this story in a working form?
• What components must be working?
• What needs to be researched and designed?

Complexity (points)

Estimate the relative complexity of this story, expressed as story points. Trivial things are only a point or two, and the average is about 5 points.

If you find it hard to guess, you may need to break it down further into smaller stories.

Users

Next, make a list of Users. These are the people who will interact with the solution that you are creating.

Users are identified not by personal name, but by their role in relation to the task they perform.

Add a User role and press Enter.

Epics

Epics are the major stages in a project and are divided up into sprints.
An epic is often a product release point or a handover to the customer.

Add an Epic of your project.

If you have a target date in mind, include it in the topic text for clarity.
