Standard set of Jira Align Checklists

Tanvi.Patel

The Training Simulations are amazing for learning the tool. But was wondering if there are any standard set of Checklists available either by role, level or topic? It would help re-inventing a list of relevant actions or steps to be taken by the various roles.

Hi @Tanvi.Patel,

I agree with you about the training simulations. They are excellent.

With respect to checklists, there are currently no set of standard checklists for a very good reason - each company has its own set of processes and approaches to using Align in concert with the framework or agile method they are using (and have customized).

In addition, the checklists use company-specific terminology when they are created, whereas the training simulations use Align/industry-standard terminology. In my 4+ years of implementing Align, I consistently see client's having difficulty doing the mental translation from company-speak to industry-standard, so it makes sense to not provide pre-built checklists which would then need to be rebuilt to each client's specific terminology.

That being said, I would love to see a set of SAFe-specific checklists out of the box. Any chance of that happening, @Shawn Kessler?

Peter

Hey @Tanvi.Patel - I'm a Solutions Architect with Jira Align. I have created a template of checklists that go through the life cycle of the PI and by role. I have shared these with the other SAs as well. Is there a SA that you are currently working with or even a TAM? If you are and let me know who they are, I can get it to them and they can share with you. It's in an excel file or I would share here.

Great idea!

Shawn Kessler

I also think this could be useful. I will touch base with a few of the SAs for input and see if we can get this added to the backlog. Thanks.

Hey Shawn - I created something a while back and shared with the SAs. I've got it on our Google Drive. I'll send it over to you.

Tanvi.Patel

Thanks @Rae Gibbs, really appreciate it. My TAM is Wanda Marginean and SA is Chris Spanner.

Rae Gibbs

@Tanvi.Patel I will reach out to them today. I know @Chris Spanner and will try to catch him before he is done for the day since he's 6 hours ahead of me.

@Tanvi.Patel I reached out to @Chris Spanner a little while ago and shared the info with him. Hope they are along the lines of what you were looking for!
