Assignment  : Agile and Iterative Project Management

The following table shows the schedule for producing executable outcomes on a three iteration project. We have just completed Day 40 for Iteration 1 (ignore weekends and holidays in order to keep the example simple). Note that tasks leading to these outcomes occur in parallel - the tasks are not carried out sequentially.

As the table shows, while Outcome E has just begun, it is not near to being completed.

1. Following good iterative scheduling practice, how should Outcome E be handled?

2. The contract for this project requires that the final product be delivered at the end of Day 120. Identify at least three strategies that might be followed in order to carry out this project by the promised deadline date.
