Championing goals and priorities
As an organization, clear goals must be set for a release.
- For example: “The goal of the 10.0 release of the ACME conferencing system will be to increase performance by 40% and to incorporate distributed administration tools as defined by the customer studies”
- There must be clear understanding and agreement on the goals throughout the organization; they will be used to determine the priorities of the release
- If goals are unclear or undefined, a release can start to wander without clear direction
