"Current Program Backlog Composition" reportEnterprise Work Management Standards defines the scheme for labelling enablers, using one of the four enabling types(Architectural, Compliance, Exploration, Infrastructure) as defined by the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). To support enterprise clarity into how much of each type of enabling work is being completed, please use the enterprise label schema for all enablers. When adding the appropriate enabler labels, also remove the enabler label if you are currently using it to identify enablers in your program. Enabler labels exist in Jira, in the format <EnablerType>_Enabler, ie. "Architectural_Enabler" for more information, select the "Enablers" tab on the Enterprise Work Management Standards page.

"Current Program Backlog Health" & "Features in Status on PI Start Dates" reports


Enterprise Work Management Standards for feature workflow leverage the Scaled Agile Framework's (SAFe) program Kanban. The use of statuses not included in the SAFe program Kanban may cause your program's data to be inaccurate and create disconnects and the associated communications overhead to clarify. To ensure the best quality of data, ensure the timely and accurate transition of work items through the full workflow, providing program and enterprise stakeholders an accurate picture of the overall preparation level of the program backlog for upcoming PI's. It also benefits program leaders, as they can see if the backlog supports the intended capacity allocation for the upcoming PI. Learn more about the Enterprise Standard Program Kanban Statuses and Workflow by selecting the "Features" tab on the Enterprise Work Management Standards page.
Features Started and Closed per PIThe Enterprise Work Management Standards Best Practice for Feature management is to close Features within the PI they are delivered. However, the report will include any features closed within the first 8 days of the subsequent PI. As with all work, the Enterprise Work Management Standards define the timely and accurate transition through the program workflow. For more information on the Feature Workflow, select the "Features" tab on the Enterprise Work Management Standards page.

All ART Teams' Backlog Composition at PI Start.

Each chart represents work types used by most programs in CCSQ:

User Story types (Story, Action item, Improvement, Insight, Prb/Enh)

Enablers types (Enabler)

Bugs

Research types (Spike, Research Design, Discovery Initiatives)

To support enterprise clarity into backlog composition and delivered work please use one of the existing User Story, Enablers, or Research work item types. Selecting the right work item type is critical to get value from both charts.

Enterprise Work Management Standards encourages ART teams to use label tagging to represent program specific work item types instead of creating new work items. Labels are a easy to manage and build into your reports.
