It is getting harder and harder for us to focus on our work. Monotonous interactions and recurring meetings keep us busy as well as distracted from what should be our focus: delivering value to our customers. As we go on, more meetings are added to rectify the situation, more things are "high-priority" and even less gets done. The result? Frustrated team members, overwhelmed managers, angry stakeholders, and complaining customers. People want to contribute. People want to deliver value. People want to be part of something successful. We just need to let them work. We've seen what impact a change in the system can have on individuals, teams, as well as an organization as a whole.
We created this organization to share some tooling to help you, your team, and your organization. It's tools that we use ourselves in our daily work as well as in our workshops.
These tools are freely available to you:
| Tool Name | Description |
|---|---|
| MonteCarloCSV | A python module to run Monte Carlo Simulations based on CSV file inputs from any system. |
| FlowMetricsCSV | A python module to create charts of your flow metrics based on CSV file inputs from any system. |
| AzureDevOpsFlowScripts | A set of Python scripts to run Monte Carlo Simulations and calculate Work Item Age that hooks directly into your Azure DevOps System. |
| FlowPulse | A python module to generate Flow Metric Charts and run Forecasts using MCS directly based on data that will be fetched from Jira via JQL or Azure DevOps via WIQL |
| Lighthouse | Lighthouse is a tool that helps you run probabilistic forecasts using Monte Carlo Simulations in a continuous and simple way. It connects to your Work Tracking Tool (currently Jira and Azure DevOps are supported) and will automatically update your team's Throughput and your project's forecasted delivery dates. |
