FACT GENERATION
lucidLIFT generates over 200 different types of facts. Facts could be simple (whether a story has points on it) to more complex (whether a release is on schedule).
ALERTING
lucidLIFT will alert the team if it detects a potential issue based on the facts collected. Alerts might be things like “unsized user story” or “release is off schedule.”
GOAL SETTING
Facts are evaluated in order to set goals for the team. The goals feed into the team’s scrum maturity score, oriented towards building predictable teams.
DASHBOARDS
lucidLIFT will build time series data from the facts collected for analyzing and displaying trends.
GOAL TRACKING
Goals are tracked for progress toward completion. As goals are completed, new goals are established at the beginning of the next sprint.
SMART CONTENT
Dashboards, alerts, and goals link to “smart content,” explanations of the alerts and goals e real team embedded with actual team data, in order to guide the team.
In addition to daily alerts and summary reports, the lucidLIFT Virtual Agile Coach user interface provides a wide variety of critical information to keep your teams improving and keep your leadership informed.
