Not only does it allow you to manage and visualize work, conduct ceremonies such as PI planning, but you also get access to the Lean and Agile metrics to start conversations, identify risks, and improve processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Out of the Box Metrics in Planview AgilePlace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Kanban board in Planview AgilePlace comes with <strong>\u201cCurrent State\u201d metrics<\/strong> which helps you answer questions such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Assigned Users<\/strong>: How many users are assigned current work?<\/li><li><strong>Distribution<\/strong>: What type of work are we working on?<\/li><li><strong>Exceptions<\/strong>: What work items have missed their planned start and\/or finish date?<\/li><li><strong>Timeline<\/strong>: Where are we with scheduled work items? And what\u2019s at risk?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to current state metrics, you can also view <strong>\u201cHistorical Trends\u201d<\/strong> which helps you answer questions like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Burndown:<\/strong> Are we on track to complete the planned work by the deadline\/end of this iteration\/sprint?<\/li><li><strong>Efficiency: <\/strong>What number of active cards and inactive cards are in process for a specific date as well as work in progress.<\/li><li><strong>Cumulative flow: <\/strong>What work is in progress as it flows through the Kanban system?<\/li><li><strong>Planned Percent Complete: <\/strong>What work is completed by the planned finished date vs the actual finish date?<\/li><li><strong>Speed: <\/strong>What\u2019s the average amount of time that a card takes to be processed from a specified start lane(s) to a specified finish lane. Are we on track to finish our work for a given program increment?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All these metrics in Planview AgilePlace enable teams to have conversations at the team level and the program level. Below I will share one of my favorite team reports and dive into why connecting team boards is critical to program level reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exceptions-report-a-valuable-report-for-any-team\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exceptions_Report_%E2%80%93_A_Valuable_Report_for_Any_Team\"><\/span><strong>Exceptions Report \u2013 A Valuable Report for Any Team<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1007\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excemptions.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excemptions.jpg 1007w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excemptions-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excemptions-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Excemptions-768x397.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1007px) 100vw, 1007px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> exceptions report <\/strong>provides excellent insight for the entire team \u2013 but also the Scrum Master, as their job is to remove blockers and escalate risks to improve team performance. The report allows team members to quickly identify risks to cards currently in flight. The report offers a stack ranked view by \u201crisk severity\u201d so you can see highest risk first and act accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visualize risks by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Missed start date<\/li><li>Missed finished date<\/li><li>Inactivity &nbsp;<\/li><li>Speed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you can go a step further by drilling into the card itself and begin a discussion based on information featured in the history and health section to collaborate, make decisions, prioritize or course correct as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-out-of-the-box-reports-the-ability-to-create-custom-reports-at-the-program-level\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Out-of-the-Box_Reports_the_ability_to_create_Custom_Reports_at_the_Program_Level\"><\/span><strong>Out-of-the-Box Reports + the ability to create Custom Reports at the Program Level<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1011\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Agile-Program-Execution.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Agile-Program-Execution.jpg 1011w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Agile-Program-Execution-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Agile-Program-Execution-150x79.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Agile-Program-Execution-768x406.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1011px) 100vw, 1011px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the program board, leaders can visualize and track progress of teams of teams work \u2013 an extremely powerful capability in Planview AgilePlace. At the program level, leaders get access to the exact same out-of-the box Agile metrics and reports mentioned above, but from a team of teams perspective. For example, at the program level you can visualize how features are moving through Team X\u2019s, Team Y\u2019s, and Team Z\u2019s processes, as well as visualize the health and history of each to make important data driven business decisions and view the exceptions report to evaluate risks across the ART.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you can also create custom reports leveraging the data connected from multiple team-level boards for metrics unique to your organization. As an example, during the demo the team provided an example of a custom report titled \u201cAgile Program Execution\u201d that features information across multiple team boards across multiple program increments and displaying interactions points, total completed cards, total scope as well as completed features and completed enablers. This is just one example of how connecting multiple team boards to a program board can enable powerful reporting at the program level and how leadership can advance their Agile program and promote continuous improvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-451-research-video-agile-program-management\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"451_Research_Video_Agile_Program_Management\"><\/span>451 Research Video: Agile Program Management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For expert advice about Agile Program Management, watch Chris Marsh, principal analyst from 451 Research provides insights about the benefits, best practices and supporting technology.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"video-thumbnail text-center\">\n  <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=buadWWTP0y0&amp;rel=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-video-id=\"buadWWTP0y0\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" src=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/buadWWTP0y0\/maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Video: \" \/>\n  <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned to the Planview blog as we dive into the final demo discussion, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/agile-program-management-_webinar_lad_en_reg.html\" target=\"_blank\">Agile Program Management \u2013 Eating the Cake, too!<\/a> As the team discusses the benefit of implementing an Agile Program Management solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re Agile.
