To get decision-makers interested in engineering topics you need to speak their language. You have to show them the benefits of agile engineering practices or explain the cost of ignoring them. That is why we have prepared a Product Agility Checklist for you. This document will allow you to easily start a discussion, and identify the biggest problems that are caused by deficiencies in engineering practices.
How Agile is your Product?
Agile engineering practices is a misleading name. It suggests that only engineers should pay attention to them. Of course, there are many practices that are primarily aimed at engineers, but improving the process and paying off technical debt, requires approval from ‘those at the top’. The problem is that the decision-makers do not always see the value in refactoring and paying off technical debt. Rather, what matters to them is money, budgets, ROI, and delivering value to stakeholders.
