Data-informed planning: no pain no gain

I actually don’t know this guy
2 years ago..
A shared backlog with all data on the table
Transparent and objective resourcing
Automatic data-driven forecast - “the best we can do from current perspective” random
What needs to be done
A realistic forecast
A realistic forecast can cause temporary shocks and feelings of disillusion
CAUTION
No longer can project managers and directors etc. pick dates out of the air for delivery "targets". Senior stakeholders can work together to figure out how to shuffle priorities. There is no escape from the plan! A C U R R E N T P O R T F O L I O U S E R ( A N O N Y M O U S S U RV E Y )

Become Data- Informed
No pain no gain
Agile AND long-termAn automatic forecast helps make decisions today even if things change
A great plan should trigger tough discussions and decisions
Portfolio is for everyone ..but not everyone uses it for the same purpose

We’ve had good progress but s#%t is about to hit the fan
Being “just yellow” this week is a good thing! …last month I lost
all hope for this project
I see a major bottleneck ahead when we do the
planned team shift
Just hired a rockstar dev - even though we’re behind
right now, I’m confident we’ll hit our deadlines
Focus on communication
Provoke feedback
Have project owners share status via defined channels
Raise red-flagLet stakeholders call bulls@#$t on your plans
Facilitate discussion
Actively invite stakeholders to share their feedback
Agile scales best with self-serve information

(ohcrap) - won’t make our target!
Scope of trip management has been adjusted to meet the beta timeline - stakeholders are comfortable with reduced feature set.
