Chapter 17. Case Study: Construction Phase

The project is 90% done. I hope the second half goes as well.

Chapter 12, "Case Study: Inception Phase," introduced the AgileGrocers Point of Sale (PoS) Case Study. The focus of this chapter is the continuation of the project into the Construction phase for the PoS system. Our goal is to show what to expect in typical construction iterations. Your organization's experience and the techniques and agile practices that you choose to apply will definitely differ, depending on many things such as your culture, need for governance, capabilities, and experience.

Continuing Our Scenario with the AgileGrocers POS Case Study

We have just completed our one-week Inception phase. The following Monday, the team meets at 9:00 a.m. for two hours to plan the first two-week iteration of the Construction phase.

Figure 17.1 shows the team as it looks when we start the Construction phase. Ashok, Ann, Brian, Katherine, and Gunther have joined the team as team members. Their specialty is programming, but each of them also has other general strengths in areas of testing and analysis. Using the DAD framework, we realize that in an enterprise IT environment, we usually need to collaborate with people outside our immediate team to get the work done. We need to draw on the expertise and skills of people acting in these secondary roles, but we are not sure who yet.
