Common Agile Deliverables

Here are some common deliverables when you are operating with Agile methods. Some of these pertain to the Scrum method only, and some of them are also created in other Agile methods.

Each of these deliverables has a guide you can dig into. Learn more about each one in the Agile Deliverables section of the Agile Handbook.

Project Roadmaps (AKA "Sprint Plans")

This deliverable is exclusive to Scrum method.

A sprint plan outlines a future plan for sprint work. It determines an estimate for the kinds of work that future sprints will hold based on the best guess of the team.
