15. Artefacts | Impediments
Some of our big impediments were
• No automated versioning
• No automated change history
• More than one Backlog (reunite effort)
• No proper Requirement Engineering &
Management
• No proper Release- & Sprintplanning
• Problems to get automated metrics like Burndown
& Velocity
No appropriate transparency, traceability and
too much slack
