Before we address Team Sprint Capacity, we are going to discuss Work Item Complexity. To determine how many stories each individual on a team can commit to, we need to look at Team Sprint Capacity. This control gives stakeholders, customers, and the project manager confidence that work will be completed on time. It is important to commit only to what your Team believes it can finish during the sprint. They need to determine how many of these work items they can commit to developing on during the Sprint. Rather than a developer continually pulling issues from the backlog onto their board, the Development Team will select several issues at once from the backlog to work on during their upcoming sprint period (usually 2 weeks). The developers will now know which work items are the most important to choose first. Using the same prioritization tools as previously mentioned, we now have a list of user stories that developers can select from a backlog to complete. This is done by a product owner working with a project manager and the customer. Scrumįor Agile Teams using Scrum Methodology, teams need to have a backlog that is prioritized. While due dates are important, developers who work on Kanban style teams are trying to resolve issues as quickly as possible, For Bug-fixing focused teams, it can be important to resolve the most painful ones first.

Viewing the Persona may also be helpful when developing the feature.įor KanBan methodology, once a developer is free to continue working, they will select a work item from the backlog. They can see the priority and will choose the next most important issue. Rather than just the Requestor’s priority, any user can see how different Personas value a new feature. Easy Agile Personas allows you to create multiple personas which can place a different priority on a user story. One way to prioritize issues would be to know how a certain type of user might value a user story.
You can display work in Priority Quadrants to determine which items are grouped into different priority levels. Jexo Foxly Backlog Prioritization (available for Cloud as a Jira AddOn) has a comprehensive Priority Scoring system you can customize to assign a numerical value to make work items easier to sort. For example, if a customer documenting a bug creates a ticket reporting the Impact as “Extensive / Widespread” and the Urgency as “Critical”, then the priority for the ticket is set to “Highest”. You can choose other fields to set the Priority level by a combination of field values such as “Impact” and “Urgency”. Jira Automation (available per Jira project in Jira Cloud Standard and Global/Multi-Project in Cloud Premium) can be used to create a Priority Matrix. What does “Highest” mean? What work items should the team pull in next if several work items have the same Priority level? But ultimately, simply selecting a dropdown like “Highest” limits how specific we can be. Jira Software includes Priority Levels that can be used to signify importance. Important work items may need to be done as soon as possible or they can be de-prioritized and worked on later.
KanbanĪgile Teams using Kanban Methodology are interested in constantly prioritizing work so that they can keep work moving and flowing. Referring back to our Agile process, we can focus on the two main methodologies: Kanban and Scrum in looking at how the Team can plan its work. How difficult will each work item be to complete during the Sprint Duration (Complexity)?.What work item is the most important and needs to be done first (Prioritization)?.Scum Masters, Product Owners, and others within an Agile Team see a list of work items in a backlog and ask the following questions: This article will focus on which tools that can be used to support the initial planning process in Agile. Jira Service Management provides a Service Desk portal for external users to report a bug or suggest a feature. Jira Software provides an excellent platform for developers to track their work items such as Epics and User Stories. In our previous blog article, “HOW MUCH SHOULD I BUDGET FOR AGILE (AND OTHER FRAMEWORKS)?” we discussed the decision making process for making an investment into your organization’s Agile processes.
