big visible charts for the business
DESCRIPTION
Many business and IT management stakeholders see the benefit of Agile, but don't know how to integrate the practices in to their organization. How do you get status, monitor progress, and evaluate risk? Learn how business stakeholders and IT management engage with an Agile team. A core tenant of Agile is to make things big and visible. This slide deck is from our webinar where we reviewed the typical questions leadership has of a team, and compares the traditional way of answering those questions to an agile perspective. Examples from 10 years of Big Visible Charts will include: •Will I hit my target date? •Will I stay under budget? •How does this align to my IT strategy? The analyst and IT advisory firm Gartner has identified that "Increasing the use of information / analytics" is the #3 priority of CIO's globally this year. Review this deck to gain practical insights which will directly support both your business stakeholders and IT executives.

Concept 1: Make it Big and Visible
• If you make a problem visible many times it will take care of it self
– This is true at work, home, society, etc.
• A picture is worth a 1000 words
– Should Create Action
– Should Set Mood

Concept 2: Manage based on Data not opinion
• If you are getting status by asking the people doing the work you are just guessing.

HOW THEY HELP
![Page 18: Big visible charts for the business](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052321/54834136b4af9f9b0d8b49e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Can they measure?
• Any question you care about
– When will development be complete?
– Am I going to stay on budget?
– When will we be in production?
– Is the business happy?
![Page 19: Big visible charts for the business](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052321/54834136b4af9f9b0d8b49e7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Are there rules?
• Keep them as simple as possible
• Collaborate
• Keep them up to date
• Resist automation (initially)
• Rarely are emails big and visible
![Page 20: Big visible charts for the business](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052321/54834136b4af9f9b0d8b49e7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Common Mistakes
• Using a Chart that answers a different than you are asking?
• Forgetting that different people have different questions?
• Forgetting that people’s concerns can change over time?
• Loosing the fact that the chart is for the user not the producer.
• Keep It Simple – reader should not need training to read
• Bad Data = Lost Confidence / Credibility

Types of Big Visible Charts
• Trend Based– Usually something over time– Reader interprets– Easy to create
• Status– Usually red / Green type items
• Is the Build working• Are we on time
– Builder/Metric Interprets• Be sure it is right• Inspect under the covers
