7. Process Increments Implementation Context C. Agile Techniques Employed – Iterative Lifecycle

8. Process Increments Implementation Context C. Agile Techniques Employed – Product Backlog The project backlog 、 the iteration backlog – Information Radiator and Burn-up Charts

9. Result A. Velocity Readings

10. Result B. Observations & Findings – 1. Improvement Velocity

11. Result B. Observations & Findings – 2. Role-based improvement

12. Result B. Observations & Findings – 3. Progress Visibility – 4. Learning by example – 5. Team Morale

13. Conclusion Process increments is an excellent methodology Reuses Agile techniques to manage the organization transition risks Minimize the probability of failure. Teams participated indicated high team morale Senior management had better project visibility They will concentrate on how to customize the process increments to match the specific nature of small enterprises in Egypt.
