#8 agile governance questions
you can and should be asking
Be good with agile
My younger days
8 agile
governance
questions I can
and should be
asking…
What is my
agile team
thinking?
But first…
for a start they think as a team,
they think empirically,
Karen Greaves and Samantha Laing
they think in products,
and they think…
so what questions should you ask them?
#4 How big is this
thing, and how much
will it cost?
#6 When can we
release?
#1 What is success and
how will we be measured?
#2 Who is accepting this
work, and what does done
look like?
#3 Who is dealing with
scope, how will it be
managed?
#7 Could this software
be deployed to
production now?
#8 What do we know
now that we didn’t 2
weeks ago?
#5 How much have we
got left to do?
What is success
and how will we be
measured?
#1
