Identify delivery risks
Get ahead of potential problems to stay on schedule
Vet your roadmap plans
Set the team up for success — before implementation even begins. Identify dependencies to manage interconnected work. Capture estimates and assess team capacity to identify resource concerns early in the process. Automatically flag other planning issues — like work that is not scheduled or assigned — to avoid serious oversights.
Coordinate development
Plan program increments and organize sprints to build an actionable delivery plan. Create a ROAM board to identify and categorize risks. Set sprint capacity based on availability and velocity to ensure the team can achieve the work you commit to. Keep an eye out for items that roll over from one sprint to the next without being completed.
Track early warning signs
Catch additional delivery issues as soon as they arise. Look for visual risk indicators on your workflow board. Then, drill into the underlying features for more details — such as unresolved dependencies and overdue or stalled items. Discuss blockers and unexpected technical challenges during your daily standup to encourage transparency.
Flag at-risk work
Monitor the problems that might jeopardize your plans in one view. Report on delivery risks by initiative, release, or sprint to gauge the level of concern. Review each risk as a team and identify mitigation steps to get back on track. Keep leadership and other stakeholders informed of the impact — especially if you need to adjust the schedule or scope.
