Abstract

Despite the many problems the COVID-19 pandemic creates in the economies worldwide, recent research in academia tries to find new ways to support enterprises and companies counteracting the crisis. This study discusses the question of how an agile project budgeting resp. The Continuous Planning and Forecasting Framework (CPFF) for agile project management can be used to support teams working in an "agilefall" (the in-between state of traditional and agile) environment to reach a certain level of certainty under uncertain conditions. This contribution refines the first drafted Continuous Forecasting Framework, presented on the Software Engineering 2020, incorporating feedback from academia and practitioners using agile methods. For readers who have never worked in a real agile environment, it is often difficult to grasp why getting off the strict path following an iterative beyond budgeting approach could increase certainty. Therefore, the authors depict the framework by applying it to specific problems within traditional project boundaries focusing on elements that could help teams overcoming the "agilefall"-budgeting trap.
