Overview

As agile delivery reaches its peak, Agile Metrics is still an emergent topic. Most Agile teams with 4-5 years of practice who are ready to progress to a more mature delivery approach and/or attempt larger and more complex products and projects find that the metrics used by the team in their journey to agility are often challenged at the project level and beyond. Some frameworks introduced the concept of releases and release planning but, in most cases, the planning is product-oriented rather than an integral part of a project/portfolio/program plan. One challenge in aligning product-based planning with project-oriented planning is the estimation process and the metrics used. Most "traditional" agile metrics are relative metrics - very useful for a small team but almost useless in planning a project. The main challenge is the validity limited to the team level and the lack of consideration for cost and business process integration. This webinar is based on the author's experience using the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC framework for Process Improvement for software development projects with a focus on M (Measure); it will address project estimation and planning.
