I’ve been experimenting with different processes at Lunch Pail Labs, including using prototypes instead of detailed scope planning. Even in flexible approaches, a short brief document can be helpful. It ensures that all stakeholders are aligned on the objectives, scope, and approach before work begins. This document sets expectations and provides a roadmap for the project.
Here’s the structure I’ve been using:
- Project Objective: A brief outline of the project's aims and the specific goals we’re focusing on for the current sprint or phase.
- Scope: A high-level list of what we’re tackling. It’s not overly detailed but provides a clear overview. This section also includes what’s out of scope.
- Milestones: Key checkpoints to track progress and mark important deliverables along the way.
- Risks: Identifies potential challenges or obstacles that could impact the work, helping to anticipate and address issues early.
And that’s it—what kind of lightweight documentation do you use? Send me a note.
