What is scrumban in software delivery?

by

Scrumban is a hybrid Agile project management methodology that combines elements from both Scrum and Kanban. It was initially designed as a way to transition from Scrum to Kanban, but has since evolved into a standalone framework that takes advantage of the strengths of both systems. Here’s a brief overview of each, to provide context: What are some general benefits of scrumban? Does Scrumban use Velocity or Cycle & Lead Time? In Scrumban, key performance metrics from both Scrum and Kanban are used, with more emphasis on Kanban’s flow-based metrics like Cycle Time and Lead Time rather than Scrum’s Velocity.

Forecasting, confidence and estimation in lean software delivery

by

Back with another article on lean software delivery. This time, I’ll be discussing forecasting, confidence and estimation at a high level. I’ll write another article further in depth on how to estimate and what tools to use. Make sure you check out my DORA metrics article and MTTR discussion to get an idea what I’ve been discussing for software delivery. What are percentiles in software delivery? A percentile is a measure used in statistics indicating the value below which a given percentage of observations in a group of observations falls. For example, the 20th percentile is the value (or score)

Velocity vs Throughput – What’s the difference?

by

In the context of software delivery, velocity and throughput are two performance metrics used to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of a development team. They help stakeholders and teams understand the progress and productivity of software development processes. While both metrics provide valuable insights, they have different focuses and should be used for different purposes. In order to understand velocity, you need to understand story points as well. Story Points: Velocity: Throughput: When to use Velocity vs Throughput over the other: Downsides to velocity/story points in software delivery: Overall, both approaches have their pros and cons, and teams should choose
