Define what being flexible with Agile means to you and your team
Being flexible with Agile for my team and I means understanding the business's changing needs and being sufficiently agile to adjust our plans accordingly. Using Divim's Sprint Planning and Capacity Planning for Jira helps us plan our capacity accurately and allows us to discern larger projects from smaller ones, setting the foundation for our flexibility. We also emphasize cross-team work by creating opportunities for shared team members to participate in multiple projects. This allows us to construct a unique approach to each project as necessary and grant better visibility into how individual projects contribute to achieving larger goals. That shared knowledge provides incredible value when choosing which elements of any given project are most beneficial for optimizing customer outcomes.
Understand how to use Divim's Sprint Planning and Capacity Planning to solve cross-team collaboration
Divim's Sprint Planning and Capacity Planning can be a great way to facilitate collaboration between teams and projects. They help teams decide how to prioritize and plan tasks, provide insights into resource availability, and make it easier to spot any potential issues before they become problems. For example, if a team has exceeded its capacity for the sprint, it's immediately visible so that the necessary adjustments can be made quickly. With the ability to see individual workloads within an organization, project managers can better ensure teams are working efficiently within their capacities. This can help save time and money by avoiding scope creep or having people waste work on projects that are no longer needed. Not only does this foster collaboration across various teams, but it also enables more accurate planning for future sprints.
