Hakkiri does multiple levels of analytics and metrics to help enable you to focus on the right areas of improvement. The delivery scores look at different dimensions of execution and score them in a traditional 5-star system for easy consumption.
Planning
Purpose:
- To give a sense of how well teams are doing at planning and backlog management
Factors that impact this score:
- Sprints planned into the future
- Amount of refined/groomed backlog that is ready for execution
- Descriptions of stories and epics
- Sprint Goals
Things you can do to improve the score:
- Work with the team and refine more stories with estimates
- Create sprints for future iterations and assign stories to them
- Ensure you have clear descriptions of Epics and Issues
- Set a goal for a Sprint that drives the planning/priorities of the Sprint
Execution
Purpose:
- To give a sense of how well teams are reliably delivering on their commitments
Factors that impact this score:
- Teams delivering on their commitments
- How well sprints stick to their time box
- Executing on very long sprints
Things you can do to improve the score:
- Ensure sprints stop on their scheduled date and don't run over
- Stay focused on your sprint deliverables and strive to meet them
- Minimize rollover of issues from one sprint to the next
- Limit work in progress -- better to get fewer issues completely done than a lot in progress
Quality
Purpose:
- To give a sense of the overall bugs in backlogs and how much focus is on reducing them
Factors that impact this score:
- How much is the backlog is made up of bugs
- How the team is balancing fixing bugs vs. working on stories
Things you can do to improve the score:
- Review the bugs in your backlog, ensure they are valid and not duplicated, and close otherwise
- Spend a few sprints (or period) focusing on bug burndown
Process
Purpose:
- Effective processes enable teams to deliver and coordinate with minimal friction. They facilitate delighting customers through the reliable delivery of high-quality software.
Factors that impact this score:
Scrum Teams:
- Consistency of start and end dates for sprints
- Consistency of sprint duration
- Sprints run two weeks or less
All Teams:
- Utilization of Epics to group work
Things you can do to improve this score:
- Utilize consistent sprint start and end days. It is recommended to utilize Tuesday or Thursday to minimize ceremony disruption due to Holidays and extended weekends.
- Do not plan sprints longer than two weeks. More than two weeks typically does not give enough opportunities to adapt to new information.
- Ensure issues are assigned to Epics in the backlog.
Overall
Purpose:
- To give an overall score across all of them
Factors that impact this score:
- The Planning, Execution, Quality and Process scores
Things you can do to improve the score:
- Improve the Planning, Execution, Quality, and Process scores
