Agile Product Delivery Flashcards
PDCA
Plan, Do, Check, Adjust (incremental design with fast learning cycles)
Design Think
Clear and continuous understanding of the target market, customer and their problems
WSJF
Weighted Shortest Job First
Cost of Delay / Job Duration
or
user-business value + time criticality + risk reduction / Job Size
Journey Map
Maps to design end-to-end customer experience
Story map
Capture user workflows
ART Backlog is the holding area for…
Features
Feature benefit hypothesis
Justifies development costs and provides business perspective for decision making
PI
Planning Interval
Enablers
- Define existing code, hardware components, marketing guidelines, other variables that enable near-term business feature
- build up the runway (exploration, architecture, infrastructure, compliance)
- I.E. Research how to calculate the shipping costs
Story Point represents
- volume
- complexity
- knowledge
- uncertainty
CoD
Cost of Delay
To prioritize based on lean economics, we need to know two things
- Cost of Delay
- How long it takes to implement value
Cost of Delay Components
- User Business value - relative value to the customer or business
- Time Criticality
- Risk Reduction and opportunity Enablement
PI Planning
Planning Interval Planning - cadence based event that serves as the heartbeat of the agile release train, aligning all teams on the ART to a shared mission
* Two days every 8-12 weeks
* Product Management owns features and priorities
* Development teams own story planning and estimating
Input and output of PI Planning
Input: Top 10 features
Output: ART PI Objectives and ART Planning Board
Art Planning Board
feature delivery, dependencies, milestones
Uncommitted objectives
- Help improve the predictability of delivering business value
NOT just in case features - Count when calculating load
