In initial review of the project backlog, the product owner and the rest of the team meet to determine a realistic release plan with minimal viable product releases. The goal is to:

A. Estimate how many iterations will be involved so that the Finance Department can understand the burn rate for cash flow planning purposes.

B. Groom the project backlog to order it based on the priority of estimated points for product features.

C. Determine the approach to deliver incrementally to get value in the hands of the customer as fast as possible.

D. Organize the work based on the skills of the team, when specific team members will be available to work, and what competing projects will usurp resources.
