Overview

The Problem

Effectively managing the product backlog is crucial for businesses aiming to meet their strategic objectives. All too often we see agile teams struggling with any of the following:

  • Disrupted development flow
  • Wasted time and effort
  • Haphazard planning and forecasting
  • Increased backlog maintenance and planning overheads

The Solution

The Backlog Enforcer. An automated, AI-enhanced dashboard that triangulates data from Jira and GitHub to give a real-time, objective view of the quality of the product backlog.

The Business ROI

  1. Faster Time-to-Value and Time-to-Market: Value-based prioritisation together with efficient iteration planning ensures the most valuable items are always worked on first, allowing the business to deliver value to customers more quickly.

  2. Increased Productivity and Efficiency: Reduce rework and wasted effort by continuously being prompted to improve the backlog quality and prioritisation. This significantly reduces wasted effort on low-value or misunderstood tasks. Having a clear picture of priorities and realistic effort estimates will keep the team aligned with the expectations of key stakeholders.

  3. Higher Quality and Lower Risk:Having a balanced investment profile including tech debt reduction, infrastructure updates, and skills improvements, maintains the overall quality improvement momentum.

  4. Enhanced Stakeholder Satisfaction and Trust A well-managed and well-executed backlog provides clear visibility into upcoming work and progress. This ongoing transparency builds trust with leadership and stakeholders, as they can see what is being delivered and why. This, in turn, contributes valuable data to aid strategic decision-making.
