Updated epics and roadmap category timelines post- FY21 financial planning and updated hiring plan
Why is this change being made?
Updating Category maturity plans to more accurately relate to current velocity, and updated hiring plan for 2020-2021
Per Portfolio Management's current velocity we are delivering ~30pts of weight per milestone. Of that 30 pt average, only ~44% is associated with Direction
or Feature
issues, which is an average of 13 pts per Milestone.
Assuming an average issue weight of 3, currently across our Epics category we have ~126 pts of weight to achieve a lovable maturity (~9.6 milestones).
Assuming an average issue weight of 3, currently across our Roadmaps category (which is less fleshed out than Epics) we have ~105 pts of weight to achieve a lovable maturity (~7.8 milestones).
TL:DR
This nets out to at least 17.4 milestones of work to develop the known net new feature/functionality necessary to achieve category lovable maturity for Portfolio Management, outside of any tech debt, bug resolution, JIRA competitive work, strategic planning support, etc. As such I am proposing we extend our maturity plans out for these categories to more realistic dates.
