The Power of Baselines

To track progress against the PI commitment a baseline is required to compare against. That's obvious. But without time consuming calls, data searching and analysis, can you ascertain what's changed since yesterday? Or since your last Scrum of Scrums, PO Sync or ART Sync? Or since that significant change in the plan you agreed with the Executive Management Team?

With the Agile Companion^™ Toolkit you can compare any two saved baselines, unlocking data-driven decisions to help drive change.

Report Templates

You are far too busy leading to spend your time configuring tools, let alone perform your own complex analysis. You are empowered to lead. That is your primary role. That is what is expected of you.

The Toolkit really is your Agile Companion^™, allowing you to define a Report just the once and then save it as a Template for easy selection in the future. And why not give them obvious names such as "Monday PM - SoS" or "Friday AM - Mgmt Review"? They are even easy to share so that when you're out of the office delegation becomes simpler.

Communication

Communication of trusted data is the backbone to every successful organisation. Timing is critical in receiving ACTionable Information. Too late, and it may not be possible to deploy the action required.

To assist efficient communication, the Agile Companion^™ Toolkit provides automatic attachment of reports to emails. To help you optimise your time still further, whilst reducing delays in sharing, automatic email generation plus automated archiving are available during Batch Processing.

Single & Batch Reports

Dependent upon your role in the organisation, you may need to run multiple reports based on the same dataset across multiple Project Releases. Batch Processing Templates allow you to further optimise your time whilst providing consistent reporting. They can also be easily shared with your colleagues.

To further optimise your time, the Agile Companion^™ Toolkit automatically synchronises your Batch Processing Template with your Report Template so that you only have to make a single selection.

Team & Executive Reports

Different stakeholders have different needs. In addition to creating specific Report Templates, an Executive Report can be automatically created from the Team Report. And should you be asked for further details, the Team Report is also saved to your local drive for easy access. Being ahead of the curve is a good place to be.

The Agile Companion^™ Toolkit automatically groups data before creating a PDF based Executive Report. This saves you time whilst helping to provide Executives with the right level of detail.

And More

Following extensive analysis of the needs an extensive set of features have been developed in the Toolkit. These range from calendar selection, formatting options to an Advanced Scripting Language.

Several formatting options exist for the PI Plan and Roadmap Report Sheets to support both virtual and in-person big-room-planning events with printed material.

Advanced Scripting Language allows Template based selection of Value Streams, Release Trains, Project Releases and Teams, as well as filtering of the selected dataset.
