Abstract
This article discusses the importance of effective scope assessment in Agile projects. The adoption of Agile principles and methods has replaced the traditional waterfall approach, leading to better involvement of clients and teams in gathering requirements, regular review of results, and flexible adaptation to changes. However, Agile implementation projects lack the opportunity to pay detailed attention to the analysis phase, which makes scope assessment crucial. The article proposes using Story Map and UML models to analyze the scope of Agile projects, as their ability to visualize information and act as a source of truth. The methodology helps to integrate models, compile functional and non-functional requirements, perform cross-checking of the requirements, and create an initial scope assessment. Proper preparation for scope assessment is necessary for successful Agile implementation and can lead to understanding project goals and objectives, prioritizing work, managing stakeholder expectations, estimating timelines, and enhancing team collaboration.
