When - When to Use the Seven Questions

There are two basic use cases for the seven questions.

First, use the seven questions as a framework to write an agile proposal.

Second, use the seven questions to verify the completeness

of an existing proposal prepared in a different framework.

And because the seven questions are comprehensive and easy to remember,

fundamentally they can be used as a checklist anytime with no preparation.

DONE.

Why - Why the seven questions

Agile Teams come up with ideas for new Products, Projects, Features, etc. 

Sometimes they need executive approval to work on such a new idea

- to get Budget, Staffing, Time, etc. 

Executives want a quick, simple, yet comprehensive proposal of such ideas.

The seven questions can be used to define an Agile proposal that is:

well-formed, quick, comprehensive, and still simple.  Because:

- there are only seven questions;

- they cover all the basics;

- and the seventh questions allows for any needed elaboration or clarification.

DONE.
