Welcome to our March 2024 newsletter, your monthly source for Lean Agile Intelligence insights, company news, and product highlights. This month, we're focusing on delivering you value through our new Lean Agile Intelligence features, introducing the newest addition to our team, Bob Ternes leading sales and partnerships, and providing details on our Reseller & Strategic Partner Sales Enablement Training.
What's Inside:
Get ready for an exciting update on March 24th! Our upcoming features are tailored to enhance your data analysis and insights, making data collection a breeze and a delightful experience for all involved, whether you're overseeing the feedback process or contributing feedback. These enhancements, inspired by your valuable input, guarantee a seamless experience and provide even more profound, actionable insights.
We’ve updated our “out of the box” dimension names to better align with the value of each dimension, enabling more fruitful conversation as you drive towards outcomes in your organization.

Value Driven is now ProductCustomers on paid plans
We understand the potential impact of a name change on a large organization. If you are on a paid plan, rest assured that your "out-of-the-box" names will remain unchanged. We have reached out to your administrator to inquire if you would like to proceed with the update. If you wish to implement this update and are on a paid plan, please feel free to contact us, and we will apply the changes to your environment.
Many of you play a crucial role in implementing a measurement strategy across various business verticals, whether overseeing a small team or managing up to 100's of teams. Each of you brings a unique perspective to the table, yet the challenge remains consistent - effectively connecting the data dots turning chaos into clarity while ensuring a seamless feedback experience for both facilitators and participants is really hard to do.
In our quest to continuously support your growth and improvement, we've identified key challenges that many of you face, and here's what we've heard from you:
In response, we introduce...
Role Assigned Capabilities for Custom Capability Templates
Custom Roles
Enable Role Assignments on Custom Capability Template
Step 1: Assign roles to the Capability Template
Enabling Role Assignments on your custom Capability Template will set the role selection options when this assessment is launched, limiting the selection only to what is set during this step.
Step 2: Select the Roles that will assess the capability when this template is launched
The roles available in this step are driven from the roles set on the capability template in Step 1. Setting Role Assignments on the Capability level allows you to scale and execute your measurement strategy across 100s of teams, still giving the facilitator flexibility at the launch of the assessment to update the role-capability assignments.
Update Role Assignments on Launch
Even at scale, context can change from team to team and we recognize that default role assignments may need to be adjusted based on team or organizational changes. So upon launch, facilitators have the option to modify these during the Assign Roles step (now, part of every role-enabled template launch journey).
Data Aggregation With Custom Roles
With the flexibility to create numerous custom roles, aggregating data across roles (e.g., Product Owner, PO, Scrum PO) can become complex and unmanageable at scale. For example, you might want to aggregate all the roles to see feedback from Product Owner, Product Team Member, Senior Product Owner, etc., because you believe a capability's feedback is being misrepresented.
To ensure you get the best representation of your data and simplify analysis and aggregation, we recommend the following when using this new feature:
Organizational Role Guidelines: To avoid redundancy and ensure clarity, we recommend establishing clear guidelines for role creation.
Role Standardization and Mapping: By standardizing role names and creating a mapping system for similar roles, we streamline data analysis, making it easier to draw meaningful insights from across the organization.
