Evolution of Longer-Term Planning in a Large Scale Agile Project - F-Secure's Experience

This article describes the experience of F-Secure on practicing a long/mid-term planning for a multi-team, multi-site project. It shows how the planning is thought to cover several iterations so a meaningful business value is potentially reached and given to the customer as well as all the procedures and artifacts used for and during the planning. The paper also describes the evolution (modifications and improvements) done on the planning process along the whole project. We also reflect on the major events of the project (such as project split) for which the project steering was enabled by the planning method.
