Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The company had challenges in delivering new features quickly - or at all. Product Managers could not gain visibility to what work was in progress and what potential bottlenecks were causing delays or fallout. Tasktop Viz allowed us to address the problem of making work visible and identifying the work states that were causing the bottlenecks in the flow.
Pros
- Makes work visible
- Clearly identify active and wait states in the flow
- Visualizes trends of value delivery
Cons
- configuration is done at a very granular level - it's not easy to apply across items
Return on Investment
- Reduced WIP
- Increase of feature delivery
- Reduced waste in process
You cannot improve what you cannot measure
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have been working with Viz since the beginning. I love how the breakout of work can give you indications on what is happening within a team. The ability to dive into the work and help the teams come up with improvements and then be able to measure them is essential to the company deliverying value to our customers. I am ready for all the improvements that are coming!
Pros
- View Flow Metrics in a simple way
- Manage WIP
- View into the bottlenecks
Cons
- Based on source tool hierarchy, need view into the parent/child relationship
- Export of data into the companys format for reporting up
Return on Investment
- Decreased our time delivery
- Increased our quantity of features delivered
