A - acceptance criteria to Agilometer

acceptance criteria

A prioritized list of criteria that the project product must meet before the customer will accept it, i.e. measurable definitions of the attributes required for the set of products to be acceptable to key stakeholders (PRINCE2 definition). The acceptance criteria are commonly used in agile for assessing whether a user story has been met.

agile behaviour(s)

Those behaviours that are seen as typifying working in an agile way e.g. being collaborative, self-organizing, customer- focused, empowered, trusting not blaming.

agile plans

Agile plans may show features (or sets of features) and their order and their dependencies, and are likely to have been created collaboratively by those who will carry out the planned work. Agile plans tend to be informal or low-tech at the delivery team level and this can be highly effective even though they may be no more than to-do lists or backlogs. Product- based planning can still be used at all levels of the project (including product delivery).

Agilometer

The Agilometer is a tool that assesses the level of risk associated with using agile in combination with PRINCE2. This allows PRINCE2 to be tailored in such a way that best mitigates the level of risk. The Agilometer should evolve to suit the needs of each organization.
