This article explains what a risk-adjusted backlog is, why they are useful, how to create one and how teams work with them. What is a Risk-Adjusted Backlog? A risk-adjusted backlog is a backlog that contains activities relating to managing risk in addition to the usual features associated with delivering value.
These events need to happen on a cadence of one month per less to ensure that the team is collaborating frequently enough to reduce risk (the Sprint). The Sprint should ideally be just long enough to allow Developers to deliver a Done increment and just short enough to ensure that the risk is acceptable for the Product Owner.
So, the responsible thing to do is to agree upfront on how everyone will be kept informed of the project’s progress, risks, issues, etc. Demos – Having the team demonstrate increments of functionality at the end of every iteration shows what the project has achieved to date. Let’s examine a few….
Based on the above information, our message may consist Overview of security risk Overview of security testing results, metrics Any security incidents (if any then severity, fix, response time, etc) Roadmap and Strategy Definition of ‘Done’ The message that we want to pass on will change over time. Do our roadmap and goals align with yours?
Program Increments (PIs) provide a development timebox (default 10 weeks) that uses cadence and synchronization to facilitate planning, limiting WIP, provide for aggregation of value and assure consistent retrospectives. The Agile Release Train provides alignment and helps manage risk by providing program level cadence and synchronization.
Nor does any loss in the ability to mitigate serious risk, given that the team would no longer try to achieve significant goals, on cadence, in a complex product environment. In certain sprints the Goal could be to provide and meet an agreed SLE, whereas in others the traditional mitigation of feature risk could be more important.
Without a harmonious project team, your project could be at risk of unhappy stakeholders and clients, delayed timelines, and every PM’s greatest nightmare … scope creep. Harmonious Focus 2: Set ground rules and act as a harmonizing influence Set a cadence for how your team should behave and work from project initiation to completion.
In this article, he outlines the similarities of the two as WIP Limiting, Pull-based systems – with cadences and a focus on learning – while also explaining their differences. Incremental delivery of software also mitigates risk and maximizes the opportunity to learn from a business, process, and technical perspective.
Yet when projects use new (to us) technology and tackle problems our organizations have not solved before, then risk, uncertainty, and rates of change will be high. We worked with the vendor to iteratively tackle the highest risk and highest business value portions first. Integrating with the COTS software was a hybrid process.
Working this way reduces the risk that you’re building the wrong software. Sprint review: At the end of each sprint cycle, teams meet to demo what they’ve shipped and get early feedback from stakeholders. Then, choose one person on the team — or the product owner — to run the demo. But it also makes projects more complex.
During the review, the project team demos the deliverables to the product owner who reviews them against the acceptance criteria. Any full team meeting runs the risk of going off the rails. To get the most out of them, make sure that you switch things up, such as: Cadence: Do you need a retrospective after every one-week sprint?
The goals of the Inception phase are: form initial team, develop common vision, align with enterprise direction, explore initial scope, identify initial technical strategy, develop initial release plan, secure funding, form work environment, identify risks and develop initial test strategy.
Many project managers utilize a Lean-Agile approach when there is high change or churn in project requirements, significant lack of clarity in scope, high complexity to their projects, and/or a larger number of risks associated with such. It’s usually based on a cadence. Features promised have been missing the demo.
The 10 week PI ends with PI System Demo where the work delivered during the PI is showcased to the stakeholders. (It As the PI has 5 iterations with multiple teams working in cadence to achieve a common vision, it is important for these teams to assemble and plan out the course of action for the entire PI duration.
It is then up to them – or some business function like sales or support – to have the conversation with your customers that they need to accept new releases at a certain frequency or they may be at a risk of not getting the support they might need on an old version of the product.

This suite is growing all of the times and there’s actually applications within other applications that I’m not going to demo today but we’ll get onto perhaps next week. Power BI gets refreshed every month so it has a high cadence. Or send me an email when I’ve got a new risk,” those sorts of things.
Accept: A response to a project risk where the project manager accepts the risk and takes no action to evade it, i.e. 'accepting' the risk. This is usually in case of risks that are unlikely to occur or minor enough so as to not affect the project's outcome. A project sponsor can request an audit.
As always let me actually share my screen, it makes more sense if you can actually see what we have going up on both the live demo today and also some of the details that we go through here. And then I’m going to do a live demo. You’re going to see this coming out at a very fast cadence. But look at that. Thanks Tim.
The SAFe Agile Coach also needs to support the agile teams in preparation for other program events such as System Demo, Inspect and Adapt, Problem Solving Workshops, etc. The organizational culture focuses on learning, allowing for mistakes, and taking controlled risks.

We and others have experienced Sprint Reviews more as performance reviews or demos that feel like one-way presentations from the team. The event was fairly well attended, but after a demo very little else happened. To mitigate these risks, a team and its stakeholders can agree on some lightweight rules for making decisions.
There’s cadences. The fallacy in software project management oftentimes is that we don’t understand variation, we don’t understand risk, and so we estimate time, costs and scope, and then we fix the triple constraints and there’s no degrees of freedom. We’re inventing, we’re learning.
