FY21-Q4 Ops, Continuous Delivery, Product KR: Achieve 70% Say/Do with 100% reprioritised => 33%

Key Result: Achieve a 70% say do ratio and 100% with reprioritisations based on: https://app.periscopedata.com/app/gitlab/658030/Say-Do-Ratios

We have two measures within Say/Do ratio. One includes issues marked Deliverable that were removed from the milestone during the course of the milestone, the other does not. If choosing to optimise planning around re-prioritising issues, managers should target 100% say/do.

Group %13.5 %13.6 %13.7 %13.8 avg
groupconfigure 82%/75% 50%/83% 44%/100% 57%/80% 58%/84%
~"group::package" 64%/78% 67%/100% 65%/100% 65%/85% 65%/95%
grouprelease 0%/0% 73%/100% 80%/100% 100%/100%  84%/100%

Retrospective

Good

  • grouprelease has achieved a very good say do in a short period for a new team
  • groupconfigure seems to be improving their issue hygiene (general increase in second percentage)
  • ~"group::package" had a good series of milestones that were perhaps a little ambitious

Bad

  • 33% is worse than last quarter
  • Both ~"group::package" and ~"group::package" seem to be struggling with issue hygiene
  • grouprelease could use some more ambitious goals in their milestones (this is kinda good news ;-) )

Try

  • More ambition could be helpful for grouprelease
  • Less ambitious milestone for ~"group::package"
  • More evaluation of capability within milestone for ~"group::package" and groupconfigure
