WebinarHow to Make Plans That Ship: Prioritise, Fix Dependencies, and Deliver
When everything is “top priority”, nothing ships. Two weeks before planning, teams pull in different directions; work starts, but no one can name the one outcome you’ll deliver together.
If that sounds familiar, this session is for you.
In this on-demand session, Hayley Rodd (Easy Agile) and Andreas Wengenmayer (catworkx) show a practical way to align on outcomes, cut the noise, and keep delivery moving. You’ll see how to make priorities visible, surface dependencies early, and keep a single, living view of progress. We demo the flow in Jira with Easy Agile Programs, but the lessons apply to any tool you use today.
Why this matters now
- Goals live in slides, backlogs live elsewhere, and priorities change mid-cycle. Teams are busy, yet progress feels brittle.
- Dependencies show up late, reviews balloon into status theatre, and the roadmap quietly drifts from the original intent.
- Leaders ask for visibility; teams want fewer interruptions. Both are possible with a clearer shared view.
What you’ll walk away with
- A 5-step checklist to connect strategy to execution
- How to choose 3–5 objectives and prioritise with a simple business value scale
- How Release Train Engineers, Product Managers, Product Owners and Engineering Managers align on outcomes
- Mapping dependencies early and tracking progress in real time in Jira
- Using PI Objectives and a lightweight review rhythm to stay on course
