The purpose of this post is to share how I have begun organizing an instructional development project. We are only two weeks in and working only part time. To set up, the interns and I listed the tasks we needed to do on a chart. We used the card lay-down technique to determine the effort for each task, set a priority for them and established 2 weeks as our interval for a burn-down chart. Here are pictures:


Nice but nowhere near the level of detail of a software project. However, as the team discussed the way forward in out "stand-up" meeting, it occurred to me that we should list those items of content that we now believe must be covered. Then, we can prioritize those pieces of content very much like a software team prioritizes program features. We may find gaps there, or we may find content that we can save for a revised version.
I'm still thinking about this, but it seems worth trying for the first time.
