Value Delivery
Delivering small, usable portions of functionality over time rather than all at once.
What is Incremental Delivery?
The primary measure of progress in agile.
What is Working Product (or Working Software)?
Writing tests before creating functionality.
What is Test-Driven Development (TDD)?
The amount of work currently being developed but not yet completed.
What is Work in Progress (WIP)?
A small demonstration or experiment used to reduce uncertainty.
What is a Spike?
The agile principle of producing the most benefit possible for the customer.
What is Delivering Customer Value?
A product state that meets agreed quality criteria and is potentially releasable.
What is Done / Definition of Done?
Frequently combining code changes into a shared repository.
What is Continuous Integration?
he amount of time required to complete work once active development begins.
What is Cycle Time?
Functionality intentionally postponed because it delivers lower value than other work.
What is Deferred Work (or Lower Priority Backlog)?
Ordering work based on business benefit, risk, dependencies, or customer need.
What is Prioritization?
Delivering product functionality frequently, often in short cycles.
What is Iterative Delivery?
Improving internal code structure without changing system behavior.
What is Refactoring?
A constraint slowing movement of work through a process.
What is a bottleneck
A delivery approach that makes completed work available to users as soon as feasible.
What is Continuous Delivery?
Gathering stakeholder or customer reactions to improve future deliveries.
What is Feedback?
A product version released to a limited audience for evaluation and feedback.
What is a Beta Release?
A development practice where two programmers work together at one workstation.
What is Pair Programming?
The total elapsed time from work request to completed delivery.
What is Lead Time?
Accumulated shortcuts or postponed quality work that may create future problems.
What is Technical Debt?
A method of validating whether delivered functionality actually meets business needs.
What is Customer Validation?
The practice of confirming a product increment is usable before broader deployment.
What is Validation?
Embedding quality activities throughout development instead of inspecting quality at the end.
What is Building Quality In?
The measurement of completed work units moving through a system.
What is Throughput?
An approach where teams adjust product direction based on learning and feedback.
What is Adaptive Delivery?
