Rolling Wave Planning is like planning a road trip one stretch at a time—knowing the destination but adjusting the route as needed. Key benefits:

  • Allows for Flexibility

    • Develop high-level plans first.

    • Adjust details as the project evolves.

  • Accommodates Changing Requirements

    • Ideal for projects with uncertainty (e.g., R&D, product development).

    • Adjusts plans based on new insights.

  • Balances Long-Term Vision and Short-Term Execution

    • Keeps the project aligned with strategic goals.

    • Enables iterative planning to tackle real-world challenges.

  • Improves Stakeholder Engagement

    • Encourages continuous feedback.

    • Ensures priorities align with business needs.

Rolling Wave Planning works particularly well in Agile environments where iterative cycles refine scope and execution.
