The key to long-term agile planning is keeping your project details and task estimates in sync with your roadmap.

1. Start with Big Picture: a Vision.

2. Identify Big Items: Define initiatives. For example, to support the security theme, we’d need to build a new foundation, with sheer walls on the frame, solid-core doors, and double-pane windows.

3. Break it Down: Fill Backlog.

4. Estimate: How long does a task take?

5. Create Smart Releases: Interior and Exterior.

6. Generate Roadmap and Requirements (two “R"s).

7. Share with team and validate.

8. Keep improving.
