15 Velocity The amount of work or progress towards the final solution being delivered on a project within each iteration 2017 NTT DATA, Inc. 15

16 Why Project Velocity We want to know the future when we have the least possible information. Everyone wants reliable project estimates, what will it cost and when it will be achieved Business performance is predicted based on an understanding of the direction of the company Project velocity is an attempt to remove the desire to game project numbers (sandbagging) while also providing realistic progress against project goals Assumption has been: Increase velocity, shorten time to value 2017 NTT DATA, Inc. 16

18 Project Velocity = Story Points Completed Duration of Iteration Time to Complete = Backlog Size Velocity 2017 NTT DATA, Inc. 18

19 Creating Your Backlog Agile projects which miss business goals do not commit to creating and managing their backlogs. Establish the definition of Done, Provide size estimates to prepare for sprint planning Prioritize features and functionality Manage integration with: Systems, Partners, Business Processes, Stakeholders Keep Your Backlog DEEP Detailed Appropriately Emergent Established Prioritized 2017 NTT DATA, Inc. 19

20 Components of the Backlog User Stories describe the functionality that will be valuable to either a user or purchaser of a system or software Story Points relative measurement user to size effort and complexity Card E.g. As a registered user, I want to input username and password so that I can log in to the system. Front of user story card Back of user story card The amount of work to do The complexity of the work Any risk or uncertainty in doing the work Point system based on reference stories Tailored for each project team Conversation E.g. Unsuccessful logins are given an error message Up to three attempts are allowed Confirmation E.g. Try with an incorrect username Try with an incorrect password Try with an empty password 2017 NTT DATA, Inc. 20
