# Delivery

Deliver products and features to maximise ROI. Create repeatable delivery mechanisms that allow incremental improvements and scalability

# Three Amigos

The Three Amigos is a regular workshop session where the perspectives of three roles come together to discuss a requirement before it is passed to the team to implement. This workshops looks at:

- Business Analysis – The business view (how will it be used?)
- Technical Elaboration – The technical view (how will it be built?)
- Test Analysis – The assurance or test view (how will we know that it’s done, and that it works?)

As required

**Key Focus:** Decomposition of Epics into smaller work items
