In this section, you can set the default configuration of the Business value fields. When enabled, the Actual Business Value and Planned Business Value fields appear next to the objectives defined in the Objectives module.
The business value should not be confused with 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.
Once data is available, the Planned Business Value (PBV) of new objectives scored during the planning meeting can be compared with the Actual Business Value (ABV). This is usually done during the inspect and adapt ceremonies.
The PBV versus ABV ratio can be calculated for each team's objectives and main objectives and 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.
Please note that changing the configuration might disable (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.
Security and access
Only a user with the App admin security role can access and manage the box-type configuration.
Click the wrench icon at the top right and select Box types from the drop-down list.
Click a box type name to select it and open its settings.
On the left, go to the Objectives > Basics tab.
Display Business value fields
Changes to the default Business Value configuration apply to all existing boxes of a given type (existing and newly created).
Main objectives
To enable the Business value fields:
Go to the App Administration > Box type > choose the box type you want to edit > Objectives > Basics.
Enable the Business Value for Main Objectives can be set option.
When enabled, box editors can enter the Actual Business Value (ABV) and Planned Business Value (PBV) for each timebox.
The field values range from 0 to 10 and aren't synchronized with Jira.
Team objectives
Enable the Business Value for Team Objectives can be set option.
When enabled, box editors can enter the Actual Business Value (ABV) and Planned Business Value (PBV) for each team in the timebox.
Associated work
With the Associated work option, you can assign tasks to each box objective to easily keep track of work associated with specific goals.
Settings are adjusted for all boxes of a given type (not for individual boxes).
When disabled, the associated work data is still stored in the database. Data isn't lost and can be restored once the option is enabled again.
When enabled, you can select associated work for an objective in the Objectives module.
Once saved, the associated work is displayed that way.
