Let's consider a long-term project, spanning over 6 months (26 weeks) for a software product development team. The project has 3 key milestones each separated by 8 weeks: Milestone 1 (week 8), Milestone 2 (week 16), and Milestone 3 (final delivery — week 26).
Here's an overview of the potential timeline for this Uberflow implementation:
Week 1:
- **Kick-off Meeting:** The project starts with a Kick-off Meeting where the team, the Orchestrator and the Technical Orchestrator define the project scope, agree on the Work Pool for the first Milestone, and discuss the overarching goals.
Weeks 2-7:
- **Regular Sync-ups:** These occur daily. The team collaborates, updates each other on progress, and reprioritizes the Work Pool if needed.
- **Customer Feedback Sessions:** These can occur weekly, but can be adjusted based on the project needs and customer availability. The goal is to gain insights from customers to guide the product development.
- **Happiness Check-ins:** These take place every week. Team members discuss their happiness levels, any obstacles they're facing and potential solutions.
- **Reflection and Improvement Meetings:** These happen every two weeks. The team reflects on their working style, what's going well, what could improve and brainstorm ways to implement improvements.
Week 8:
- **Milestone 1:** The team aims to deliver the first set of functionalities. This is also a week of celebration to acknowledge the team's efforts.
- **Project Navigation Review:** At the end of each milestone, the Project Navigator conducts a high-level review of the project's direction, aligning the project with the ultimate goals and customer needs.
- **Kick-off Meeting for Milestone 2:** The team and Navigators define the project scope for the next Milestone, agree on the Work Pool and discuss the goals for the upcoming weeks.
Weeks 9-15:
- Repeat the pattern of weeks 2-7 leading up to the next milestone.
Week 16:
- **Milestone 2:** The second set of functionalities is delivered. Celebrate the progress and success.
- **Project Navigation Review:** Conduct the review to ensure alignment with project goals and customer needs.
- **Kick-off Meeting for Milestone 3:** The team and Navigators define the project scope for the final Milestone, agree on the Work Pool and discuss the goals for the upcoming weeks.
Weeks 17-25:
