Interfaces Exploration

Exercise

@yuvalyeret

Objective – Explore Interfaces between two groups

For example – Product Owner and Team

@yuvalyeret

First Step – Post Up Activities regardless of who/when

Example – all activities related to the lifecycle of a Feature in an Agile Team

@yuvalyeret

Shortcut? Come with a prepared list

Why Not? Advantage of letting participants come up with the list

is they digest the material better… and you start from their

processes…

@yuvalyeret

Second Step – When? Where does each activity lie in the lifecycle? Use horizontal team estimation game - this means coming up with a continuum of activities where starting point is to the left side, ending point is to the right side (to be compatible with a typical Kanban Story Board)

@yuvalyeret

Third Step – Who?

Which activity is associated with who?

Use vertical team estimation game to drive a consensus among the team.

The meaning of vertical is that you don’t touch the left-right placement, just the top-bottom.

@yuvalyeret

Debrief

Have a discussion about what this means, what are the surprises,

does this make sense, what you would like to experiment with.

@yuvalyeret

Consider using this to “Make your Process Policies Explicit”
