Management loves the idea of metrics. Project teams, though, hate it: no one likes to be examined like a bug under a magnifying glass. It’s such a shame that this is the perception, because constructive metrics are a project team’s best defense against insanity. When well done, metrics practice is like the martial art of Aikido, which uses an opponents own energy and momentum - and in this case self-interest and responsibilities - to overcome them. This course explores constructive metrics at the release level that can be used as leading indicators.

Everybody is talking about “delivering business value”, but what does this mean in Scrum? Scrum emphasizes the Product Owner’s role in prioritizing backlogs and building the highest priority features first. But how can a Product Owner demonstrate measurable value delivered? More importantly, how do leaders articulate the real project or product goals for everyone to clearly understand?

The answers to these questions go beyond Scrum’s world of features, user stories, product and sprint backlogs. Attend this session to learn a method for delivering measurable business value with Scrum.
