Commercial objectives are not understood.
There is no qualifying model for backlog requirements.
There is a large backlog exceeding 12-months.
There is a highly competitive and dynamic marketplaces.
Production teams are misaligned to OKRs.
You are facing ‘troubled waters’ and need to respond quickly.
Framework key methods:
Backlog item risk and alignment evaluation to ensure clear and informed decision-making.
Cost analysis and potential impact of each item to prioritise for optimal value.
Assess the effort required versus expected impact to prioritise high-impact tasks.
Continually reassess and reorder backlog items in response to strategic needs.
Team collaboration to gain a broad range of insights and accurate assessments.
Implement a feedback system that facilitates prioritisation based on real-time insights.
Framework key methods:
A ranked list of backlog items that align with strategic goals and prioritisation method.
Detailed report outlining the identified risks and strategic clarity of each backlog item.
Summary into the cost versus impact of initiatives for tactical decision-making.
