Using velocity, learning’s from retrospectives, and business feedback from demo’s; adapt the upcoming release and iteration plans to incorporate these mid-course adjustments to align the project with stakeholder objectives. This may include reprioritization of the backlog of stories, changes to how the team works, or adjusting the engagement model with the business. As the project progresses more emphasis should be placed on emerging velocity trends as an indicator to final likely completion dates than any upfront estimates.
