WHAT IS AGILE?

#b20Con

AGILE MANIFESTO• Individuals and interactions over process and tools• Working Software over comprehensive

documentation• Customer collaboration over contract negotiations• Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more

#b20Con

AGILE = A WAY TO GET WORK DONE

TOP THREE FOR Q2

List your Top 3 projects and/or initiatives for Q2 in Priority Order.

#b20Con

USER-BUSINESS VALUE

Do our users prefer this over that? What is the revenue impact on our business? Is there a potential penalty or

other negative impact if we delay?

Task: Rate each item against the other items using relative sizing scores (eg 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21). Start by

scoring the least “1” and score remaining appropriately.

#b20Con

TIME CRITICALITY

How does the user/business value decay over time? Is there a fixed deadline? Will they wait for us or move to

another solution? Are there Milestones in the critical path impacted by this?

Task: Rate each item against the other items using relative sizing scores (eg 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21). Start by

scoring the least “1” and score remaining appropriately.

#b20Con

RISK REDUCTION: OPPORTUNITY ENABLEMENT VALUE

What else does this do for our business? Does it reduce the risk of this or a future delivery? Is there value in the

information we will receive? Will this feature open up new business opportunities?

Task: Rate each item against the other items using relative sizing scores (eg 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21). Start by

scoring the least “1” and score remaining appropriately.

#b20Con

JOB SIZE

What is effort required to achieve Definition of Done?

Task: For initial evaluation, assign number of days to each item. For extensive items use general estimates

such as 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, etc.
