Rapid Learning Cycles Certified®
Virtual Planning System
for Atlassian
Rapid Learning Cycles Certified® Virtual Planning System
If you have multiple programs with team members working across those programs, the starter options are limited in their ability to deal with the complexity of those programs.
We have developed solutions that provide:
Support for global/remote teams without distorting the process or getting lost in the tool.
Better scalability
Better metrics and tracking over time
Built-in support for extensible knowledge capture to set up future teams for acceleration
Ability to add support for resource management and cross-program metrics when that becomes important
This was only possible due to our extensive experience with a range of tools, as well as the deep understanding of the Rapid Learning Cycles framework.
While you might consider developing your own solution, the benefits of working with us include:
Fast, remote configuration with project templates, issue types, etc, that have been tested and proven to support effective RLCs.
Less trial-and-error to find the best way to implement RLC concepts within the tool.
Shorter learning curve so teams are not struggling to master complex tools but can focus instead on their project work.
Support for RLC best practices and extensible knowledge capture built into the configuration - no need to figure this out.
Minimal reliance on or need for involvement from IT or your Confluence/Jira Administrator - who don’t understand the framework and may have misconceptions about the best way to implement RLCs in the tool - based upon Agile assumptions that don’t apply.
Based on Atlassian’s Jira platform, a comprehensive configuration has been developed, tested and refined to support the requirements of planning and executing a Rapid Learning Cycles program.
The additional features over the Virtual Planning Board are:
Unlimited metadata for Decisions and Knowledge Gaps, which can be searched and filtered.
Models the interdependencies between Key Decisions, Knowledge Gaps, etc.
Utilises the functionality of Jira for scrum that supports the Rapid Learning Cycles framework
Manages Knowledge Gaps not closed as potential risks
This solution provides:
Powerful filtering and reporting using the defined metadata
Broad functionality that aids the program manager and team in collaborating, managing, updating and executing the Learning Cycle Plan
Management of dependencies
Scalability – to support more programs, larger teams and more functions
Support for team members working across programs
Ability to use the same tool to manage the Learning Cycle Plan as well as the delivery of the program
Rapid Learning Cycles Certified® Virtual Planning System Pro
This overlays the Jira Rapid Learning Cycles Planner, providing a visual representation of the Learning Cycle Plan.
Additional key features include:
Resource Planning
