Iteration 0
MVP and Vision is set Base BRD = PRD + Product/Business Strategy Core sitemap, high level task-flows created Technical architecture established and environment/stack is final Project plan (baseline) created and feature-set grouped across iterations
Iteration 1
Artifacts for Iter. 2 coding are prepared Includes PRD Update, Wireframes, Usecases, QA test scripts, etc. Code, test, and deploy Iter. 1 feature set
Iteration 2
Code, test, and deploy Iter. 2 feature set
CYCLE 2
Iteration 4 Iteration n
Iteration 3
Between specific iterations, conducted multiple Listening Labs (usability) to ensure the MVP is still relevant and sound using lowfidelity prototypes
Established the overall QA/Alpha-testing strategy and recruited towards later milestone deployment dates to start uncovering bugs, loopholes, and edge cases Landing pages, FAQs, Demo/Videos were developed at a later stage based on progress

Crafting your story is a journey, it requires constant (and somewhat obsessive) iteration
A story is better than a pitch in
consensus environments
Components Why does the problem even matter? Why is the competition failing or what are they missing? Why is your solution different or better (and for whom)? Can you really get this done and for how much? Who benefits inside the org (aside from the customers)?
Be your own devils advocate

When youre ready, script your game-plan around your audiences agenda
