MNAEG Gathering Thursday, November 17, 2016

[RHunter]

Topic: Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) - “If you only quantify one thing, quantify the cost of delay.”  - Don Reinertsen  

This discussion will center around the WSJF prioritization mechanism proposed by Reinertsen and given more recent visibility by being emphasized in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe).

Francis Sothy will lead a discussion on WSJF – questions to be considered:

·         What is it?

·         How is it used? 

·         Does it help move the contentious prioritization space? 

·         As it is a decision process, how much is it a relative vs an absolute scoring mechanism?

·         Lastly if we have time we can discuss how this could be applied for a lean start-up model. 

 

For the last 13 years, Francis has lead Fortune 500 organizations through their agile journeys.

He worked on three continents for the same company, providing him an  international perspective on software development in a Lean environment. 

He is currently an independent consultant and SPC4.

Here is a link to parking info http://www.stthomas.edu/parking/parkingoptions/

Note on parking: The Morrison ramp ($1/hr after 4 PM) is probably where most end up.

Street parking in non-permit areas on the campus perimeters can often be found (by those who enjoy the hunt).

Kevin,

 

There were a few slides but not really a presentation – it was primarily a discussion.
