Just a quick post to explore the concept of Delivery Plans in the context of software delivery between teams of developers.

What is Delivery Plan?

When organisations grow and more people become involved in the process of software development, the need to split into smaller groups becomes more apparent ion order to split the workloads down into discrete packages managed by these smaller teams.

With that comes the requirement to manage what needs to be delivered, by when and by whom.

Essentially this is what a Delivery Plan is. It is the ability to visualise a set of discrete work packages and its intentions are to enable other teams to know what each other is working on.

Recommendations for Managing multiple Agile Teams

• Build trust in your people and processes
• Elevate the organisation above the team (and individual)
• Foster a culture of transparency
