This talk is about
What’s this thing we are building?
Use that understanding to plan the work
A simple way to measure progress
A simple way to measure progress
(that works just as poorly, but is simpler)
After this talk
Uncover what needs to be done
Forecast from actual progress
Plan ourself out of the rush
But first
Where does the rush come from?

The worst way to answer: To estimate
hours per task
Actual hours =
Σ estimated hours per task * “load factor” * “management overhead” * fudge factor
Actual hours =
Σ estimated hours per task * whatever

Creating the backlog
• Vision• Usage flow
• Product backlog
Vision, stakeholder
For some stakeholderWho wants achieve some goal
The ??? system Is a type of application
Which lets them perform some actions.
Unlike most relevant alternativeOur product has some advantage
For company employees
Who wants to take leave from work
The Leave-IT system
Is a responsive web application
Which lets them register leave applications and get them approved
Unlike sending emailsOur product lets them keep track of leave days
available and team leaves
Employee
Team lead
PMO
HR
Leave-IT
HRDB
SSO
Usage flow
1. HR admin logs in via SSO (same for the other stakeholders)
2. HR admin navigates to Leave-IT
3. HR admin allocates leave quotas based on information in HR database
4. HR admin builds company calendar
5. HR admin adjusts the leave quota for an individual user in HR system
6. HR admin assigns leave approvers from uses in HR system
7. Employee views their available leave
8. Employee submits leave request
9. Leave-IT notifies Team leader of a new pending leave request via email
10. Team leader views pending leave applications
11. Team leader checks the other leaves in the same time period
12. Team leader approves leave
13. Leave-IT notifies Employee of an update of his leave request via email
14. Employee checks status of own leave application
15. Employee cancels own leave
16. PMO views the teams' leave calendar, plans and history
17. PMO may cancel leave if necessary

Thank you
• Context– “We get a tender with epics and need to give a price” (Janini, Virtusa)
– We have a team that is “confused” – beginning or halfway through
• Get a team together and discuss the who, why, what (actions) and alternatives (vision statement)• Use actions to start the discussion of the usage flow (a narrative that starts with the first
interaction with the (sub)system and ends when the business value is produced)• Create the product backlog from the usage flow. I like the items on the product backlog to be
man-week sized. Each action from the usage flow goes into the product backlog. In addition, the product backlog should contain activities for layout, deployment, specific testing etc.
– Separate different iterations on the same increment in time to accumulate feedback– Prioritize the items for the first internal demo, first external demo and first trial deployment– Simplified user stories can be used to detach teams
• This gives a list which length predicts the number of weeks. Weeks = # Items / number of item producers. Hours = Weeks * Burn rate
• Tracking– As project proceeds, track actual progress (count of items per week) versus forecasted progress. Also track changes in total
scope. This will adjust the forecasted times and costs.– Demonstrate with the customer whenever you can. This will determine if the quality matches their expectations– Deviation in progress, changes in scope or missed expectations mean you should discuss contract with customer or suffer
consequences
• Focus through demo planning– In scrum planning, when you know the scope, come up with a screenplay script for the demonstration. Get someone brave to give
a mock demonstration during the planning. => Focus on the outcomes– Use the demo focus to help the team break down technical dependencies– Practice the demo towards the end of the sprint– Give a demo like you mean it, but don’t lie (unless you want to delude the value of the feedback)
• Planning – man-week sized items– Gather “everyone” to discuss => usage flow– Usage flow actions x revisits (experimental, simplified, basic,
complete, polished), technical items (layout), releases => product backlog (releases planned in time)
• Revisits with different expectations (experimental, simplified, basic, complete, polished) – also used to avoid deps
• Technical items with visible results• Releases
– Product backlog => time and cost (t = s/v)
• Tracking every week– Actual production, changes in scope– Demonstrations with customers => expectations– Progress, scope, expectation/insufficient done-ness => risk
• Accelerating with demo– Practice mock demo during planning
• Example project: Planning Monday, Demo rehearsal Friday morning, Demo Monday morning
– Use demo driven work to focus on feature slices (avoid deps)– Demonstrate with externals to get feedback
