| Period | Focus | Tasks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprint 0 (Week 1) | Discovery & setup | Requirements, team setup, backlog creation, architecture decisions | Don't skip this — it prevents rework |
| Sprint 1–6 (Weeks 2–6) | Core build | 2-week sprints · daily standups · sprint reviews · backlog grooming | Velocity improves by sprint 3 |
| Sprint 7+ (Weeks 7–11) | Polish & testing | Bug fixes · UAT · performance · documentation | No new features — stabilise only |
| Week 12 | Launch & handover | Go-live · monitoring · stakeholder sign-off · retrospective | Prepare rollback plan |
medium complexity means your contingency should be 15% — £7,500.
Scope creep is the #1 project killer. Every change request must go through a formal change control process.
With Agile, stakeholder involvement every sprint prevents the "that's not what I wanted" problem at launch.
Weekly status reports keep stakeholders informed and prevent surprises. Surprises kill projects.
