We recommend an Agile Sprint model whereby work can be created, estimated, planned and delivered every two weeks. Using a continuous deployment framework these items can be delivered when ready by the push of a button.
Pre-Sprint (Sprint -1)
Add items to the backlog as they come up, including feedback tasks, bugs etc
Product Owner to prioritise and set the order of completion
Delivery team to estimate effort for each task where possible
Items collected into a Sprint ready to go
During Sprint
Design work would ideally be completed one Sprint ahead
Development team to pick-up and complete
Automated tests built and any manual testing run (UI)
Tasks are bundled into a release
Post-Sprint
Run a retro at the end of each Sprint to spend an hour with the product team
Backlog to be reviewed and re-prioritised ready for the next Sprint
