I realised, as I stumbled forwards with a presentation on my current project, that the presentation can be seen as a Press Release and remembered that I have explicitly followed the Amazon Working Backwards practice twice before. |
Write the PR at the start of the project
This informs the team what the point of the activity is, which is not always self-evident.
Internal Press Release: Important System Upgrade Completed
Anticipated release date see: Upgrade Epic Ticket
Today we can announce that we have upgraded the whole of Important System.
In the process we have achieved the following:
- Extended and upgraded our ability to act upon and monitor all repositories
- Archived XX repositories
- Reduced the number of ignored tests from XX to XX
- Removed all Sonar Bugs and Vulnerabilities
- Updated all libraries
- Installed Dependabot to ensure we do not fall behind again
This enables us to take on the strategic work of removing Bad Thing from our estate.
The numeric gaps in the Press Release make it explicit what needs to be measured before and after the project.
