"Flow From Blockers: How to Use Blocker Clustering to Improve Predictability" presentation as given at the Agile Lean Europe 2015 Conference in Sofia, Bulgaria, 28 August 2015.
6. THE INVITATION @mattphilip #ale15
Subject: Improve planning and reduce risk
Dear Asynchronites,
Would you like to improve planning and
reduce risk in your team? I'm offering to
coach up to two teams in the practice of
blocker clustering…
11. Internal blockers caused 20 days of
delay
External blockers caused 147 days
of delay
The biggest blocker cluster
accounted for 86 days of delay
WHAT WE DISCOVERED (TEAM 1) @mattphilip #ale15
20. THINGS TO AVOID
Most blockers were of “unknown” reason
@mattphilip #ale15
Differing definitions of “blocker”
Misunderstanding your commitment point
Bad (or no) data
21. THINGS TO TRY @mattphilip #ale15
Manage empirically as a safe-to-fail
experiment
Start simple, with invitation
Tell others about it
