Agile Product Owner Checklist

What is the Agile Product Owner Checklist?

The Product Owner checklist for Agile Projects (created by http://www.productownerchecklist.org) is meant to help Product Owners maximize the value of the product and the work of their Development Team.

This checklist can be occasionally used to check your Product Owner score. This score can be determined via the "Sub Task Progress Group By Task Report" shipped with Gaia as explained below.

Using the Checklist

When using this template, Gaia generates a list of 36 issues (6 tasks and 30 associated sub-tasks) that Product Owner can use to check their Product Owner score. The project is using tasks to classify checklist items as sub-tasks.

These sections (tasks) are:

1. Product Vision
2. Stakeholders
3. Product Backlog
4. Development Team
5. Scrum Master
6. Scrum Events

By opening any of the 6 tasks, you can see their associated sub-tasks. Each sub-task describes an item of the checklist that needs to be fulfilled.

When you are fulfilling a sub-task, you can set its Resolution to "Done" (this is typically done by going through its associated workflow).

The Product Owner score is calculated by checking how many checklist items (i.e.: sub-tasks) are completed. This can be done automatically using the "Sub-Task Progress Group By Task Report" as described in the next section.

Creating a report to calculate your Product Owner score

You can use the the "Sub-Task Progress Group By Task Report" to calculate your Product Owner score. The report checks how many checklist items are completed (Resolution: Completed)

Creating a filter to use in the report

To use this report, you first need to create a filter that includes all the checklist items (i.e.: all tasks and sub-tasks associated to the project). 

To create the filter, go to the "Issues" menu and select "Search for Issues".

To get the list of all the tasks and sub-tasks of the project:

• Select your project in the list of projects:
  
• Then, select the issue type "Task" and "Sub-task":
  

If you haven't manually created new tasks and sub-tasks, you should get a list of 36 issues filtered in the view (these tasks are generated automatically by Gaia).

Click on "Save as" button to save your filter (give it a descriptive name so you'll be able to find it quickly later):

(Alternatively, you can also create an advanced filter using JQL using this query:

project = CFPO ORDER BY key ASC

Where CFPO is the key of your project.)

Generate the report

Click on the Projects Menu (from the top toolbar in Jira) and select your project. Then, from the "Overview" tab, select "Reports".

From the list of reports, select "Sub-Task Progress Group By Task Report".

On the next page, click the "Select Filter..." link :

This opens the following dialog where you can select the filter you have created above : 

Once this is done, click on "Next".

This should generate the report with the list of all the checklist items (here, tasks and their associated sub-tasks of your checklist project).

At the bottom of the report, you will find a metric showing you the number of completed sub-tasks. In the context of the Agile Product Owner Checklist project, this is your Product Owner Score.
