Course content

4 sections21 lectures1h 1m total length
  • Introduction4:24

    Explore how agile metrics measure progress, quality, and customer value using velocity, sprint burndown, burn up charts, and NPS-driven insights for continuous improvement.

  • Velocity1:41

    Learn velocity in agile, the average velocity of story points completed across sprints, and use the velocity chart, showing committed versus completed points, to set achievable goals with JIRA.

  • How to improve Velocity?2:38

    Boost velocity in agile projects by refining processes, enhancing collaboration, and removing obstacles, including daily stand-ups, better estimation, training, continuous integration, and effective retrospectives.

  • Velocity
  • Sprint Burndown Metrics2:50

    Track sprint progress with the sprint burndown chart, a day-by-day view of remaining story points that reveals deviations, enhances transparency, guides proactive delivery, and enables early issue detection.

  • Sprint Burndown Antipatterns3:27

    Explore common antipatterns in burndown charts and learn how to interpret patterns—plateaus, spikes, and sudden drops—that reveal scope changes, incomplete updates, or unrealistic sprint goals.

  • Sprint Burndown
  • Sprint BurnUp Metrics1:30

    Track sprint progress with a sprint burnup chart comparing cumulative completed work to scope, noting scope changes via red work scope line and green completed line, with a gray guideline.

  • Sprint Health Metrics2:11

    Explore sprint health metrics in agile to track progress, time elapsed, work completed, scope changes, and days left, using color-coded story points to assess whether the team is on track.

  • Epic Burndown Metrics1:51

    Explore epic burndown metrics to track progress of large epics across multiple sprints, using story points and velocity to project completion with tools like JIRA.

  • Release Burndown Metrics2:34
  • Product Backlog Health Metrics2:42

    Learn to assess product backlog health by comparing refined backlog to twice average velocity (story points), compute backlog health percent, and visualize readiness for sprints with a Jira horseshoe gauge.

  • Product Backlog Health

Requirements

  • A basic knowledge on Agile.
