WHAT ABOUT THE TEAMS
Number of trains or teams that can own and develop a feature?
What is MULTIPLE teams on a SINGLE train
WIP limited phase/state used for refinement>requirement elicitation, business value, sizing and splitting features
What is Analysis
Required in a fully refined feature, describes the proposed value for the end-user or business
What is benefit hypothesis
Feature Title/Summary: Build the alert table
Describes internal work required rather than the functionality or deliverable to the customer
True/False - PO's / BA's must wait until after a Product Manager refines/analyses a feature before they can decompose features into stories?
False. POs contribute to the feature refinement process and can start decomposing into stories for the team backlog DURING the Program Kanban Analysis State.
POs/BAs MUST understand the vision, purpose and acceptance criteria of a feature in order to create stories that support and are within the scope of the defined feature.
3 key roles expected to contribute and collaborate to define features in the local context of an ART
What is Product Managers, Product Owners, Epic Owner
Will also accept: Solution Architect (enabler features) or "Other key stakeholders"
True/False - Features should be written in the user story voice (As a , I want, So that)
False
Summary: First year commissions for brokers
Benefit Hypotheses: pay and retain advisers
Estimate: 12 Story points
Missing Acceptance Criteria
Highly collaborative event where teams take ownership of the suggested Features and work with their Product Owners to identify, estimate and elaborate the Features and their Stories.
What is Program Increment Planning (PIP)
PI events are not just intended to identify the work and sequencing of stories for the PI. CONTINUOUS refinement of the features by the team and collaboration with other teams during PI is encouraged
Product Manager planning/forecasting tool used to communicate the planned sequence of capability or feature delivery
The duration used when sizing and splitting features.
A feature should be easily delivered in what timeframe?
What is 1 Program Increment (PI)
Title/Summary: Perform analysis
No value to customer. Analysis is expected for each feature as part of the Program Kanban phases. If work is required before a feature can be defined, a SPIKE should be created rather than a business feature.
True/False - TEAMS can negotiate the scope, stories and acceptance criteria for each Feature during PI planning
TRUE
When and how are features estimated?
What is Analysis state, in normalized story points
Feature estimation usually occurs in the analysis state of the Program Kanban and relies on normalized estimation techniques
MVP and Capabilities are a deliverable of what and by who?
What is Epic Refinement, Portfolio Layer
Owner: Lean Portfolio (BPMs for Guardian)
PMs/POs are recipients of information and may be asked to contribute or participate in relevant epic refinement sessions but can not own or take away too much time/effort from Program and Team level responsibilities
PI Objectives: Deliver systematic onboarding (application submission) & Create a centralized customer data repository
Team's Feature Planned for PI: Move commission cycle time to monthly instead of quarterly.
What is: Feature doesn't align or support any of the established Program Level Objectives for the PI.
Name 2 behaviors that contribute or cause "The Waterfall Downward Spiral" for Features. SEE IMAGE
What is:
Hand-offs and sequencing efforts through Program and Team layers.
A handover mentality-Limiting discussion or NEGOTIATION during feature refinement or PI planning. See INVEST
Where fully refined features are found (in priority order) and pulled from for PI planning purposes
What is Program Kanban BACKLOG
Multiple ARTs functioning simultaneously to build a solution in fully integrated increments
What is Large Solution
Feature Summary: PI-6 KTLO Maintenance
What is EVERYTHING (smile). You can't identify benefit nor Acceptance Criteria with no defined work. Consider discussing and negotiating the key maintenance items during PI planning.
