Comment on Release Predictability Metric by Aravind

Aravind — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 02:17:29 +0000

Dean,
Good post on the Agile business value. We are working on an Agile business value metric within our Enterprise – we are piloting this with our upcoming PSIs, and we seem to have certain organizational consensus challenges on the following:
- Do we have business value defined at the epic level?
- How do we calculate (with consistency) the business value across multiple instances?
- How do we quickly converge on calculating business value without analysis paralysis?

I would appreciate any input from you on these issues.

Thanks,
Aravind.

Dean,

Am I missing the obvious link to the revised Big Picture, or have you posted it? I am currently using the 2009 version of the graphic so would love to see the revision!

Thanks for your great book (Agile Software Requirements), it is a very helpful compendium of Agile knowledge, even at our small startup. I am looking at your certs, SPC sounds great, I hope to attend in LA in February.

I agree, I agree. For most agilists there’s only Agile or Waterfall. Black or white. Bad or good.
It’s a pity

Comment on Scaled Agile Framework Practitioner and Consultant Certification Curriculum by Rich

Rich — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 17:53:32 +0000

Having read “Agile Software Requirements”, such a curriculum sounds very interesting. The details of the curriculum leave me with a question. A couple of thousand dollars would be wasted if the class is just a re-hash of the book. What would you say is the “value-add” for the class for those who have already absorbed the content of the book? I see a few of them, but if you could amplify, that would be great.
