CREATING THE PROJECT DELIVERABLES FOR TESTERS
Deliverables are items that result from processes that need to be given to the identified stakeholders within the project. Inputs to such processes include information, documents, and plans, while outputs include contracts, software, and results. It is important to know whether the project belongs to a large-scale enterprise that requires compliance to company standards, or a small-time project in a small company that will only need to focus on building the software.
Nevertheless, the progress of the project needs to be quantifiable. And Agile projects often use artefacts as its basic deliverables for development and progress tracking. This article will discuss what they are, and how testers can help in building them.
Product Vision Statement
Projects need an overarching goal to let the team know what they are working for, and that’s what the Product Vision is for. Ken Schwaber once said: “The minimum plan necessary to start a Scrum project consists of a vision and a Product Backlog. The vision describes why the project is being undertaken and what the desired end state is.” Thus, the team must invest time and resources in coming up with a great product vision.
