The standard for project management

Iterative scheduling with a backlog. 

This is a form of rolling wave planning based on adaptive life cycles, 

such as the agile approach for product development. The requirements are documented in user stories that are 

then prioritized and refined just prior to construction, and the product features are developed using time-boxed 

periods of work. This approach is often used to deliver incremental value to the customer or when multiple 

teams can concurrently develop a large number of features that have few interconnected dependencies. This 

scheduling method is appropriate for many projects as indicated by the widespread and growing use of adaptive 

life cycles for product development. The benefit of this approach is that it welcomes changes throughout the 

development life cycle.
