Defining the Product

There is a common myth in the agile community that if we are “agile,” then we don’t need to plan up front. Conceptually, a lot of upfront planning can incur waste (as demonstrated with traditional waterfall ways of working). Even so, looking into the future reduces the risk of building the wrong thing or going too far in a direction you didn’t want to go. A product blueprint is less a detailed plan or detailed definition of the product, and more a high-level map that guides teams in a direction. It is not a detailed step-by-step plan of how to get there.

Deciding “how much” product definition is necessary isn’t always easy. Here are some guidelines to determine whether you have enough to move forward:
