Description

Jira Align is a platform purpose-built for enterprises to connect strategy with execution and drive transparency, consistency, and predictability at all levels of scale. The platform supports business value delivery in agile frameworks such as LeSS, DAD, and SAFe. It also caters to organizations that mix agile with waterfall to support scaled bimodal delivery. Starting with an introduction to the platform and its features, this book takes you through the foundational building blocks of Jira Align. You’ll learn how an organization can benefit from implementing Jira Align and understand how to connect dimensions such as people, work, time, and outcomes. The book takes you through the typical steps for implementing Jira Align for maximizing outcomes and helps you solve common team, program, and portfolio-level challenges by enhancing visibility, tracking dependencies and risks, and using reports for real-time, distributed decision making. Throughout the book, you’ll explore features such as remote agile ceremonies, live roadmaps, and objectives and key results (OKRs). You’ll also get to grips with lean portfolio management, financial reporting, and using the program board for planning and execution. By the end of this book, you’ll be well versed in the key features of Jira Align and be able to leverage them to support all levels of agile at scale.

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

This book is well thought out and extremely detailed in all things Jira Align. The application is complex, with so many variables that customers get overwhelmed trying to learn. , Even though I have configured the application for clients, I found many useful tips and details. If your looking to install Jira Align, read this first!

This book does a thorough job going through three main components of the Jira Align experience: Setup, Practical work and Enterprise lean portfolio management (LPM). This book is good desk side companion for administrators, scrum masters, product owners, business partners and portfolio managers. We just completed our first PI planning session in Jira Align and I will be purchasing this book for all of our scrum masters to assist us in our journey moving forward. Congrats to Aslam Crader and Dean MacNeil for writing what appears to be the perfect Jira Align playbook! Kudos!

I have been waiting for this first book written on Jira Align and it is invaluable! Not only does it guide me through the nuts and bolts of implementing this leading enterprise agile platform, but it provides strategic guidance and success criteria. I particularly like how the authors focus on outcomes. I’ve learned how to organize teams around value and connect their work to strategic outcomes like OKRs. The extent of the platform’s functionality can be overwhelming, but the authors break it down into manageable chunks tied to solving real business problems. The diagrams are extremely helpful as is their real world experience. For example, the connection between Jira Software and Jira Align is well documented and I learned tips and tricks to reduce the Jira Admin burden, improve performance, and balance team flexibility with program and portfolio consistency. Highly recommended for portfolio leadership (great chapter on lean portfolio management), release train engineers, product managers, and scrum masters. Thank you Dean MacNeil and Aslam Cader!

Benjamin C. Wilson Jan 27, 2021

I've been with the companies that built this product for nearly 5 years, working directly with prospects and customers, so I've witnessed how successful customers deployed Jira Align to deliver massive value to their organizations.If you are embarking on your Jira Align journey, this book will be an excellent guide to support your efforts.Each Jira Align implementation has its own challenges, so please work with certified Atlassian Partners like Valiantys to strategize and deploy Jira Align, but everyone needs quality reference materials from people who have done it successfully, and this book is it!

Amazon Customer Feb 08, 2021

The guys who wrote this book have clearly been involved in a number of Jira Align customer projects as the content in it is practical and comes from real world customer scenarios vs. being a list of Jira Align features.It breaks the subject down in a really nice way, stepping from pre-deployment, through deployment, onto using the tool, problem solving and finally discusses some "special use cases" so completely in-line with a real world deployment.As I said in the headline, if your organisation is looking to deploy Jira Align, this is a must read!
