Agile projects still need Schedules and Plans. They may change, driven by business requests, or project feedback; but plans need to exist. The format of agile plans may surprise some stakeholders. Instead of a network diagram, a prioritised backlog may be the preferred tool for illustrating and managing the sequence of project activities. Tools and deliverables that are easy to change (refactor) are preferred over harder to maintain network diagrams and WBS diagrams.
