How does Planview apportion your time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> This is all in how you move your card in Planview AgilePlace.\u00a0So, we take the available time a person or team has and divide that number by the number of cards in process. We encourage fundamental Agile practices, so in process cards\/available capacity hours per team equals cost.\u00a0Teams need to limit Work in Process (WiP) and keep the board or backlog up to date. Again, this is pretty typical practice for any organization or group implementing Agile practices and\/or principles.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_What_happens_if_people_are_assigned_to_things_they_arent_working_on\"><\/span>Q: What happens if people are assigned to things they aren\u2019t working on?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> Agile is all about continuous improvement! Kanban practices are no exception. You can\u2019t accurately measure WiP if you don\u2019t keep your work up to date so that it represents what\u2019s happening on your team (standard Agile practices). Let the team embrace these practices so automation can just happen in the background.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_How_do_you_include_team_members_that_might_not_have_any_directly_assigned_cards_like_Scrum_Masters_and_Product_Owners\"><\/span>Q: How do you include team members that might not have any directly assigned cards, like Scrum Masters and Product Owners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> Every individual is key to the team, so we rolled teamwork into the automation. Even when a Scrum Master or Product Owner isn\u2019t assigned to individual cards and tasks, Portfolios knows everyone on your team and the system will proportionally spread the time for anyone who doesn\u2019t have data to match.<\/p>\n<p>If there are 3 people on a team with 5 cards, the Scrum Master\u2019s time gets divided 5 ways. The Scrum Master or Product Owner\u2019s time is going to be split proportionally across all your user stories for the corresponding features in Portfolios.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/scaling-agile-_demo-on-demand_lad_en_reg.html?_ga=2.26798141.1069640969.1582813615-671993521.1537802215&amp;_gac=1.162816462.1582814553.CjwKCAiA7t3yBRADEiwA4GFlI1i5MtgeoDaRfoiqvYYUuW7rO_QEpknBHS6C_5sH0ZvJ2JcvB5II2hoCbB8QAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12684 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/scaled-agile-delivery-demo-800x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/scaled-agile-delivery-demo-800x200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/scaled-agile-delivery-demo-800x200-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/scaled-agile-delivery-demo-800x200-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/scaled-agile-delivery-demo-800x200-750x188.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Is_it_possible_to_do_traditional_time_sheet_trackingreporting_while_also_dabbling_in_automatic_Agile_costing\"><\/span>Q: Is it possible to do traditional time sheet tracking\/reporting, while also dabbling in automatic Agile costing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> Agile costing can be run by team and department. Meaning that you can begin leveraging Agile costing for a small team or multiple teams, while the rest of the organization still completes the timesheet manually. You can also use this to take a mix of governance approaches <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/costing-agile-and-capitalization-faq-part-i\/\">discussed in the previous blog<\/a>, supporting groups that need different levels of manual oversight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bottom line: Agile costing is flexible enough to handle the complexity of different types of organizations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q_Is_there_fidelity_in_this_costing_process_when_compared_to_the_traditional_manual_gathering_of_timesheet_data\"><\/span>Q: Is there fidelity in this costing process when compared to the traditional, manual gathering of timesheet data?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A:<\/strong> As with any Agile organization, Planview develops solutions through collaboration with many customers. The Agile costing product feature and capabilities are no different.\u00a0We\u2019ve discussed and validated with our customers\u2019 Finance leaders, and we see this as a huge opportunity to bring Finance on-board with Agile transformation efforts. Agile costing and Agile software development capitalization seems like one of the last hurdles needed to get over before an organization can truly say it\u2019s transformed.<\/p>\n<p>Further, we have a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Carina Hatfield, who serves as our Director of Product Management, who is super passionate about meeting Finance needs. Her process on our approach included validation with other CPAs and auditors. She is willing to talk to anyone about how they are handling Agile transformation from an Agile costing perspective, whether they\u2019re in finance, auditing the Agile efforts, or a PMO trying to bridge the conversations between Agile leaders and finance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, there you have it \u2013 the most frequently asked questions for costing Agile and Agile software development capitalization.
