Can your team or stakeholders easily tell:

  1. How your project is doing?
  2. Will it be done on time?
  3. What the pain points are?

Measuring the right things and displaying the measurements will communicate to the team and to stakeholders that these are the behaviors the organization wants to encourage.

Big Visible Charts (BVCs) can communicate information:

  • Increasing team Effectiveness
  • Provide required feedback to the team by making issues more visible
  • Make status reporting more reliable And …
  • Increase the confidence in the team as progress is shown

Telling people something is important is one thing “Measuring It” and “Displaying The Measurement” is another. – Matt VanVleet, Pillar

In this Webinar, Daryl will discuss the uses and benefits of Big Visible Charts (BVCs) when managing an agile project.

Presenter: Daryl Kulak (LinkedIn profile) author of Use Cases: Requirements in Context (2nd Edition). After a brief introduction to use cases and the Unified Modeling Language (UML), it explains how use cases reduce the incidence of duplicate and inconsistent requirements, and how they facilitate the documentation process and communication among stakeholders. The book also highlights numerous currently available tools, including use case name filters, the context matrix, user interface requirements, and Daryl’s own “hierarchy killer.”

Pillar Technology Group cares about the community. Individual training costs are “VERY Reasonable” and the proceeds of the training go to charity inspired by the “Agile Manifesto” and many other foundational works in the industry. Check out their training page.

As Angelo Mazzocco, President of Pillar explains “We live in an economy where access to “free” or not for profit is becoming a part of our every day lives. It is in this spirit that we would like to launch the Pillar Training Series. It is our passion that we should not profit from the distribution of knowledge. So our courses will be unique. All proceeds generated from a course will be donated to charity. All work done in the course will be for a charity.
