Projects exist for one reason: to provide value to the business. A team creates business value in many ways. Most commonly, the business value is realized through improving a product or service that increases efficiency, meeting safety and regulatory compliance, receiving a financial return on an investment—such as increasing sales—and generating more brand awareness through customer satisfaction. The information in Weeks 1 and 2 has taught you about tailoring, and now is the time to put it into practice.
**Smartphone Project**
Now that we have learned a bit from our first attempt at the smartphone project, we will try it again! You have been studying the different types of project management and realize that since the smartphone industry is rapidly changing and highly competitive, this would be best to run as an agile project.
Rather than trying to figure out the project budget and plan (like we did with a traditional project), you start by identifying all the work that needs to be done. This is critical because the work you identify (and the estimates that you give those items) will provide you with a better idea of the overall scope and budget your project needs to have.
At the beginning of your project, you are given a team of two other designers with a background in phone technology and infrastructure. With their help, it is time for you to create your initial product backlog.
Considering the given scenario, respond to the following in 525 words or less in a Word document.
– **Create** 2 epics that discuss the main pieces of functionality that will attract your customer (e.g., my smartphone will have solar-powered batteries that absorb sunlight as you carry it around).
– **Decompose** your epics into features and stories (minimum 1 feature and story per epic). **Write** some requirements for your stories. What does it include? What is the value to the user?
– Now that you have some work items in your backlog, **describe** how you would set up the project to deliver your first MVP. How do you intend to adapt your schedule and work to ensure you capture value as quickly as possible?
Consider the following questions:
– How are you going to get all your requirements?
– What ceremonies will be useful for the team to use?
– How do you plan to test and verify the value of your work?
**Format** your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
**Submit** your assignment.
