Retrospective - build the thing right

• Using sprints lets us know early if the quality is there

• What is “right” should be defined upfront

• Transparency helps sponsors to ask the right questions

Customer segmentsSegment A Segment B Segment C

Animals Movie characters (stars double)

Harry Potter, Voldemort, Hermione, Ron (double)

Other animals (double) Other movie stars (triple) Chicken, snake, white crane &unicorn (triple)

Retrospective - build the right thing• It is not enough to build quickly• Success means knowing your customer• Your Product Owner may not know what your

customer wants• To know your customer you must have

analytics• To speed up knowing your customer

continuous integration and deployment helps

• Enabling an environment where analytics and continuous integration exist will incur a cost but will reduce waste
