a test for if an agency stakeholder is really willing to do agile
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Some suggested language:
Agile projects are goal-driven, not feature-driven. You must be willing to articulate a goal that is written in terms of outcomes for the users of the service, then establish a way to measure whether a service meets the goal and guage the success of the product based on qualitative and quantitative assesment of whether that goal is met. You must be willing to have a subset of your target audience use the product before it is ready, and agree that such as process is the only true way of assessing readiness.
Possibly link to sections of the playbook? Or add some things to the playbook?

Just FYI @ultrasaurus - I've added this to the blog post Alan and I are working on as a quote from you - I think it's a good statement, I'll share a draft when ready to make sure it works for you and you agree it fits.
Closing given new guide just being released which de-emphasizes agency readiness in the agile guide. Agency readiness is kept to the parnership principles.
