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.

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!

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!

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!

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
