Automated simulation of releases in agile project environments
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11983528B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for automated simulation of releases in an agile project environment. The method involves receiving project data from a database, determining the order of execution of user stories across multiple sprints based on various factors like business priorities and dependencies, displaying the order graphically while highlighting risks such as invalid dependencies, receiving updates to resolve risks, and displaying a revised order based on the updates. The method aims to streamline the release process by efficiently managing user stories and potential risks.
Furthermore, the patent also describes an automated simulation engine and a non-transitory computer-readable medium with programmed instructions for implementing the method. The engine and medium are designed to receive project data, determine the order of execution of user stories, allocate them to sprints, identify risks like spillovers, and display the information graphically. By considering factors such as priority, dependencies, team capacity, and potential bottlenecks, the system aims to enhance the planning and execution of agile projects. Overall, the patented technology offers a systematic approach to managing releases in agile environments, ensuring efficient allocation of resources and minimizing risks associated with dependencies and capacity constraints.
