This lesson develops practical capability in Team Roles, Context, Lifecycles, Goals, and Process Choices within Disciplined Agile® Foundations Course. Learners use an agile team selecting and tailoring an effective way of working for a changing product environment to connect PMI principles with delivery decisions, evidence, stakeholder expectations, and professional judgment.
The instructor demonstrates team roles, context, lifecycles, goals, and process choices by tracing the decision logic, project artifacts, stakeholder inputs, calculations, and evidence. The walkthrough tests how a technically complete plan fails because estimates, dependencies, constraints, or acceptance criteria are inconsistent and shows how to correct the issue without creating downstream inconsistency.
Create and review the principal planning artifacts for Team Roles, Context, Lifecycles, Goals, and Process Choices and add the verified result to the team context assessment, lifecycle choice, process-decision record, working agreement, and improvement backlog.
Start with the first mismatch between the intended outcome and the available evidence. Check planning logic, estimates, dependencies, constraints, and acceptance criteria separately, then trace dependencies, decisions, calculations, and stakeholder feedback. Treat the assumption that a technically complete plan fails because estimates, dependencies, constraints, or acceptance criteria are inconsistent as a hypothesis until review or retesting confirms the cause.
Learners can apply Team Roles, Context, Lifecycles, Goals, and Process Choices, explain the resulting project or professional decision, and support the outcome with a reviewable team context assessment, lifecycle choice, process-decision record, working agreement, and improvement backlog.
