HOW JIRA ALIGN HELPS
• 250+ reports provide rich data across all
level enabling the right conversations at
the right times
• Allows development organizations to
confidently plan delivery against
commitments
• Enables the business to efficiently plan
for commercialization and revenue
generating activities
• Lead Times, WIPs, Epic and Feature
deliver timeframes, as well as a clear
map of where bottlenecks and risks
exist
VISIBILITY PREDICTABILITYCONSISTENCY
• Used by the product, portfolio and
development orgs as a single source of
truth across all stakeholders
• Reports like work tree, roadmaps, and
status reports give stakeholders real-
time progress reports across entire
programs and portfolios, and team-
tools
• Clear metrics at all levels create a
culture of accountability across all levels
of scale
• Forces consistent language at the
enterprise level to support
collaboration and communication
across the organization
• Lightweight guardrails enable consistent
collection of team level data (e.g. does
every story have a parent feature)
needed for reporting at the higher
levels
• Built in videos, coaching cards, and
process workflows to re-enforce best
practices and accelerate the speed at
which individuals become practiced
experts within the agile framework

15. Visibility drives trust, openness, and collaboration in an agile transformation
Establishing these as cultural norms from day one is critical
• Work Tree
• Why Button
• Product / Portfolio / Dev
• Enterprise Metrics
• Cross-org Alignment
• Value Realization
VISIBILITY

16. • Semantics
• Lightweight Guardrails
• Workflows
• Lean Agile Practices
• Data Collection
• Enterprise Metrics
Establish consistent, system-optimized best-practices from day one
Prevent bad habits from forming that can stall a transformation
CONSISTENCY

17. • Velocity
• Risks & Dependencies
• Value Realization
• Work Completion
• Throughput
• Capitalization & Spend
Key objection to agile transformations is the perceived loss of predictability
Put tools in place day one that drive predictability and de-risk the transformation
PREDICTABILITY

18. • Work in Process
• Cycle Time
• Velocity & Capacity
• Throughput
• Culture
• Enterprise through team
Metrics are a core element of any lean engineering discipline
Measuring everything from day 1 helps prove the value of the transformation and justify continued
investment
