In this section, you can set the default configuration of the Business Value fields. When enabled, the Planned and Actual Business Value fields appear next to the Objectives defined in the Roadmap module.

The Business value should not be confused with any other measures, such as the associated effort or total story points associated with an objective. The field values range from 0 to 10 and aren't synchronized with Jira.

The Once data is available, the Planned Business Value   (PBV)   of new objectives scored during the planning meeting can be later compared with the the Actual Business Value   (ABV), once data is available. This is usually done during the "Inspect and adapt" ceremonies.

The PBV vs. ABV ratio can be calculated for each team's objectives and Main objectives and it rolls up to the Team and timebox level.

Keep in mind:

  • A “Box type” contains the default settings applicable to multiple Boxes (all Boxes of a given type). Those settings are adjusted in box type administration.

  • Box configuration refers to the settings of a single, individual Box. They are dependent on the “Box type” settings. 

Info

Changing the configuration might disable turn off (hide) settings or features in the Box Configuration (of an individual Box) and within different modules.

Also, as modules can be renamed or deactivated, the module name in the side menu might change or not be shown at all.
