Prioritize and Groom Product Backlog for at least N+2 iterations B. Estimate as a team 1. Increase backlog transparency to justify team-estimates 2. Use Themes as main goals 3. Plan for risk in Estimates by limiting hours/day for iteration C. Manage the Agile Process 1. Manage flow and predictable team velocity commitments 2. Centralize and Accelerate task and testing transparency 3. Automate creating agile charts 4. Triage defects without breaking iteration commitments
- 6. Establish Product Roadmap How SpiraTeam/SpiraPlan supports this functionality
- 7. Requirements: Simple or Complex? 53% 49% 33% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Lack of formal process to validate requirements in an unbiased manner Resources available to perform integrated requirements management Leadership's stand on requirements management as a critical competency for strategic success PMI Pulse of Profession Survey PMI claims the number of projects with increasing complexity raised from 35% in 2013 to 41% in 2018.
- 8. Requirements When properly implemented and supported, the critical competency of developing and managing requirements enables the organization to meet stakeholder expectations, improve project performance, meet organizational benefits, and achieve tangible business outcomes.

- 9. Engage with Stakeholders gathering & reviewing Requirements Helps with business value prioritization and alignment Realizes DEEP property with more clarity
- 10. Requirements Elicitation Customer Value Add Business Value Add Technical Value Add Process Value Add Non-Value Add 1. What does the paying customer want? 2. What exciters can we add to keep the customer with us? 1. What types of documentation / training needed for users? 2. Are compliance documents needed to sustain business? 1. How to technology current to avoid risks from shelf-life? 2. How to avoid technical debt making platforms stable? 1. What types of elements to retire that add no-value? 2. What types of process and procedure waste to eliminate? 1. How to increase effectiveness by operational excellence? 2. How to enhance efficiency by continuous improvement?
- 11. Align functionality based on Strategic Value Alignment Categorizing requirements by value alignment
- 12. Requirements have a Lifecycle Needs Assessment Requirements Management Requirements Elicitation Requirements Analysis Requirements Monitoring Solution Evaluation
- 13. Prioritize and Groom Product Backlog for at least N+2 Sprints Current Iteration Forecasting what the team needs to work on for two upcoming iterations
- 14. Wait! We have a Workflow Support too! Customizable Workflow based on business needs Multiple workflows based on requirement types Supports agile principles of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Includes support for Digital Signature too!
- 15. Estimate as a Team How SpiraTeam/SpiraPlan supports this functionality
- 16. Increase backlog transparency to justify team estimates Much of the collaboration is already happening without infringing on time commitments. Planning sessions become more productive! Auditable requirements making it easy for the team to commit story point estimates. Facilitates remote, distributed, and virtual team collaboration.
- 17. Use Themes as main goals Aligns with the strategic product roadmap by mapping themes (components) in product backlog Keep team engaged with releases and iterations
- 18. Plan for risk in Estimates by limiting hours/day for iteration Life comes in the way! Whether it is company meetings or issues within the iteration, allowing for flex time mitigates risk.
- 19. Manage the Agile Process How SpiraTeam/SpiraPlan supports this functionality
- 20. Manage flow and predictable team velocity Managing flow using Kanban views identifies impediments to commitments and streamlines operations Late Start and Late Finish tasks can be unearthed to reinforce team’s commitments serving as seeds during retrospectives
- 21. Manage flow and predictable team velocity Based on previous work completed, a recommended hours/point is provided to manage team velocity commitments!
- 22. Centralize task and testing transparency Number of tasks (4) the team has identified to address this requirement Number of test cases (4) the team has identified for acceptance testing. Visibility to fewer tasks and test cases mean trouble!
- 23. One STOP to More Traceability
- 24. Automate creating agile charts Several widgets available Export data grid or image for additional discussions View burndown, burnup, velocity, or coverage quickly! View coverage on more artifacts!
- 25. Triage defects without breaking iteration commitments Not all defects identified need to be solved in that iteration unless the team finds it critical to story completion. Defects are uniquely identified so that these can be addressed during the Daily Sprint or prioritized during Sprint planning. Defects go through a separate customizable triage workflow as they are evaluated for the severity of impact.
- 26. Summary •Agile is a framework with a set of philosophies •Focus on agility by adopting practices that suit your needs •Focus on people, process, technology, and organizational needs
