?What do status reports communicate
4
● Subjective Sentiment
● Good versus Bad
● Seen as Red, Yellow, Green status
● Bolstered by Defect Metrics
WHAT DO THEY COMMUNICATE?
Given that status reports are used to drive a point, do we really understand what they
communicate? What “things” do we communicate most often?
5
Evaluation
Progress
Coverage
● Work Completion (against Plan) - What is done versus what is not done
● Seen as On, Behind, Ahead of Schedule (Waterfall)
● Seen as Stories “Done Done”, “In Testing/Verifying”
● Bolstered by Tests run with pass/fail, tests run versus not run
● Scope of effort
● What will be covered, what will not be covered
● Seen as Requirements Traceability Matrix, Story Acceptance Criteria
● Bolstered by Coverage Metrics

Who is the Audience?
Since status reports communicate a point, who are we communicating them to? More
importantly, why them?

● Are we on schedule or not?
● Does everything work?
● When can we release?

Our industry is inherently critical. As

I’d even experiment with metrics I didn’t
understand, such as DRE
I found Excel’s nifty regression line tool,
and hey, it looked awesome for
predicting!
I moved from high level numbers to
visualization of those same numbers.
Early on I focused on information being
digestible.

The Teen Years
Snippets of a Initiate
Then I started to
realize that people
needed to know a
finer level of detail.
Graphs became too
cluttered, so I went
back to charts of
numbers.

I realized that visualization of numbers
was of paramount importance.
But detail was needed across multiple
aspects of testing to ensure the
information was informative.
21
Grown Up
Snippets of a Adept
Agile made much of prior approaches
obsolete. Additionally, the data overload
turned off many stakeholders.
So I went contextual with some graphs.
Implementation Team Weekly Status Report
1. Author/Team
Joseph Ours, Quality Assurance and Testing
2. Status
Identify each status as green, yellow, or red, and give short explanation. If status is yellow or red, provide plan to get back to green.
Overall Status – Yellow
Story Completion Status
Sprint 2 Sprint 3 Sprint 4
Total 16 9 30
Closed 11 3 1
Open (Not Closed) 5 5 2
Stories missing test cases 0 0 18
 We are still testing stories in Sprint 2 and 3, and just starting testing in Sprint 4
 The testing team isn’t staffed sufficient for the project to be successfully tested
o We rolled off 1 testing resource without replacing them
o One testing resource will be leaving the team to be replaced by internal resource
 One Vitamix resource has been asked to join the testing team, but only has 50% utilization.
This represents a 120 man-hour deficiency.
 Reporting limitations in Jira is making it nearly impossible to manage testing efforts efficiently (e.g. no way
to query stories with remote links).
Defect Status
Scope Status – Yellow
 BA’s are assigning stories back to testing that don’t meet their review. The original process had BA’s
conducting meetings with CA/QA to understand what was missed. This has not happened.
 In scope or Out of Scope
o The new process is better, still working out kinks.
 Sprint 2 Status
o Testing is done, awaiting defect fixes and retesting to close out Sprint
 Sprint 3 status –
o Testing is done, awaiting defect fixes and retesting to close out Sprint
 Sprint 4 Status
o Still need to write test cases for 18 stories. Only 3 stories are ready for testing.
 No firm process for moving stories in/out of scope for a given sprint that is well communicated.
Schedule Status - Red
 While we’re slowly catching up, the inability to test Sprint 4 with only 2 days left in the sprint is concerning.
Cost Status
 Testing budget not managed by QA team.
1. Accomplishments
Completed tasks for past week
 Sprint 2, 3 testing complete, aside from retesting from defect fixes (awaiting)
 Enhanced defect process to use of affects and fix version.
 Wrote test cases for Sprint 4
 Began assigning Sprint 5 stories to testers
2. To Do’s
Planned tasks for next week
 Facilitate resolution of outstanding defects and stories from sprint 2, 3
 Test user stories in sprint 3
 Finish writing test cases for Sprint 4, test sprint 4
 Write test cases for Sprint 5
3. Risks
Identify any possible project risks for us to discuss at the next Program Leadership Meeting. List date/milestone risk is associated with.
 Testing resources – lack of availability placing testing schedule at risk
o Understaffed for work assigned – have asked BA’s to assist to help catch up.
o One resource rolled off – We are down at least 1 resource
o New resource onboarding – Didn’t happen as resource was not available. When resource available will
be ramping up on process and procedures. Is not 100% allocated to vitamix, placing testing at risk.
o New Vitamix resource – Still not 100% available over the reporting period.
 Sprint scope documentation – placing testing effectiveness and efficiency at risk
o Inability of project team to document what is in scope and out of scope by sprint is a significant risk to
the overall success of the project. This is getting better. Will need to run a few sprints to close out risk.
4. Milestones
Ultimately, I developed the philosophy of
being an information broker, focusing on
facilitating decision making.

  • 3. Have you seen this before? 3
  • 4. ?What do status reports communicate 4
  • 5. ● Subjective Sentiment ● Good versus Bad ● Seen as Red, Yellow, Green status ● Bolstered by Defect Metrics WHAT DO THEY COMMUNICATE? Given that status reports are used to drive a point, do we really understand what they communicate? What “things” do we communicate most often? 5 Evaluation Progress Coverage ● Work Completion (against Plan) - What is done versus what is not done ● Seen as On, Behind, Ahead of Schedule (Waterfall) ● Seen as Stories “Done Done”, “In Testing/Verifying” ● Bolstered by Tests run with pass/fail, tests run versus not run ● Scope of effort ● What will be covered, what will not be covered ● Seen as Requirements Traceability Matrix, Story Acceptance Criteria ● Bolstered by Coverage Metrics
  • 7. ?Who is the audience 7
  • 8. ● What’s left to do? ● Anything that’ll get in my way? Who is the Audience? Since status reports communicate a point, who are we communicating them to? More importantly, why them? 8 Other team members Team Management (PM/SM) Executives ● Are we on schedule or not? ● Does everything work? ● When can we release? ● What do we need to work around
  • 9. ?Why are they full of numbers 9
  • 10. WHY Do WE love Metrics? 10 Numbers are irrefutable Irrefutable
  • 11. WHY Do WE love Metrics? 11 We believe numbers are objective Irrefutable Objective
  • 12. WHY Do WE love Metrics? 12 Numbers lend weight to our argument Irrefutable Objective Argument
  • 13. BECAUSE They Invoke Emotional Responses 13 Irrefutable Objective Argument
  • 14. Our industry is inherently critical. As such, we want people to believe our perspective especially when people push back defensively. Numbers are our way of making irrefutable, objective arguments. 14

  • 18. I moved from high level numbers to visualization of those same numbers. Early on I focused on information being digestible. 18
  • 19. The Teen Years Snippets of a Initiate Then I started to realize that people needed to know a finer level of detail. Graphs became too cluttered, so I went back to charts of numbers.

  • 21. I realized that visualization of numbers was of paramount importance. But detail was needed across multiple aspects of testing to ensure the information was informative. 21
  • 22. Grown Up Snippets of a Adept Agile made much of prior approaches obsolete. Additionally, the data overload turned off many stakeholders. So I went contextual with some graphs. Implementation Team Weekly Status Report 1. Author/Team Joseph Ours, Quality Assurance and Testing 2. Status Identify each status as green, yellow, or red, and give short explanation. If status is yellow or red, provide plan to get back to green. Overall Status – Yellow Story Completion Status Sprint 2 Sprint 3 Sprint 4 Total 16 9 30 Closed 11 3 1 Open (Not Closed) 5 5 2 Stories missing test cases 0 0 18  We are still testing stories in Sprint 2 and 3, and just starting testing in Sprint 4  The testing team isn’t staffed sufficient for the project to be successfully tested o We rolled off 1 testing resource without replacing them o One testing resource will be leaving the team to be replaced by internal resource  One Vitamix resource has been asked to join the testing team, but only has 50% utilization. This represents a 120 man-hour deficiency.  Reporting limitations in Jira is making it nearly impossible to manage testing efforts efficiently (e.g. no way to query stories with remote links). Defect Status Scope Status – Yellow  BA’s are assigning stories back to testing that don’t meet their review. The original process had BA’s conducting meetings with CA/QA to understand what was missed. This has not happened.  In scope or Out of Scope o The new process is better, still working out kinks.  Sprint 2 Status o Testing is done, awaiting defect fixes and retesting to close out Sprint  Sprint 3 status – o Testing is done, awaiting defect fixes and retesting to close out Sprint  Sprint 4 Status o Still need to write test cases for 18 stories. Only 3 stories are ready for testing.  No firm process for moving stories in/out of scope for a given sprint that is well communicated. Schedule Status - Red  While we’re slowly catching up, the inability to test Sprint 4 with only 2 days left in the sprint is concerning. Cost Status  Testing budget not managed by QA team. 1. Accomplishments Completed tasks for past week  Sprint 2, 3 testing complete, aside from retesting from defect fixes (awaiting)  Enhanced defect process to use of affects and fix version.  Wrote test cases for Sprint 4  Began assigning Sprint 5 stories to testers 2. To Do’s Planned tasks for next week  Facilitate resolution of outstanding defects and stories from sprint 2, 3  Test user stories in sprint 3  Finish writing test cases for Sprint 4, test sprint 4  Write test cases for Sprint 5 3. Risks Identify any possible project risks for us to discuss at the next Program Leadership Meeting. List date/milestone risk is associated with.  Testing resources – lack of availability placing testing schedule at risk o Understaffed for work assigned – have asked BA’s to assist to help catch up. o One resource rolled off – We are down at least 1 resource o New resource onboarding – Didn’t happen as resource was not available. When resource available will be ramping up on process and procedures. Is not 100% allocated to vitamix, placing testing at risk. o New Vitamix resource – Still not 100% available over the reporting period.  Sprint scope documentation – placing testing effectiveness and efficiency at risk o Inability of project team to document what is in scope and out of scope by sprint is a significant risk to the overall success of the project. This is getting better. Will need to run a few sprints to close out risk. 4. Milestones
