I finished the road test. Let's see how I did with project management.

Timeline: I divided the road test into 6 iterations. The first one two weeks. All the other ones one week.
My plan was pessimistic. I needed 4 of the 6 iterations to complete the goals and the hurdles along the way.

This week's goals:

Next week's goals - all done, I progressed faster than expected

The backlog. These are items that aren't in the current iteration, and not completed:

At the end of this road test, I only have topics left that I didn't plan. They were stretch.

last: achievements and overview

Nice!
Probably worth just mentioning (not everyone may realize) that this technique is how many software projects are done these days.
It's quite different from older methods (e.g. managers stretched Gantt charts into ways they were non-ideal for, and relied on traditional longer development bundles rather than smaller tasks, or developers were left isolated on their own to break down their larger objectives into things they needed to do, and no-one checked if it was optimal/efficient : ).
