What are Hills?

Hills is a metaphor used in Agile and Design Thinking to describe milestones or objectives that teams aim to achieve during a project. These “hills” represent clear, achievable goals that guide the development process and help measure progress.

Example of Hills in a Project:

  • Initial Hill: Completing user research and defining user personas.
  • Second Hill: Developing a minimum viable product (MVP) for user testing.
  • Final Hill: Launching the product and gathering feedback for future improvements.

Using hills helps teams stay focused on incremental goals, making the project more manageable and aligned with user needs.
