About the talk:
There are 3 pervasive challenges in the software industry, regardless of organizational size or sector. These challenges are:
1. Demand management
2. Lack of delivery predictability
3. Dependency management
Typical scaling approaches seek to remedy these challenges with more meetings. Unfortunately, these detract from delivery. An alternative solution pioneered by Patrick Steyaert, which I have implemented across my clients, is a pattern known as Capacity Tokens (Cap Tokens).
These Cap Tokens balance demand with supply. When paired with asynchronous intakes forms, this 1-2 punch constitutes a lightweight yet scalable approach to addressing the 3 persuasive challenges without the added burden of excessive meetings.
In this talk, Tim will demonstrate solutions to these challenges using several Atlassian tools, and discuss lessons learned and next steps.
Participants will learn how to balance demand on a team with its capacity, scale without extra meetings, and improve deliverable predictability.
