Use Software Delivery Life Cycle Delegation Levels to clarify who’s responsible for what items and subitems of the Software Delivery Life Cycle and to what level. This is a method where you can encourage software team member engagement through controlled self-organization.
The objective is to combine Software Delivery Life Cycle with Delegation Poker. You can frame delegating decisions and tasks within the Software Delivery Life Cycle to your team within a controlled environment. It’s a conversation topic about how to iterate through Software Delivery Life Cycle Delegation items.
In a meeting or async, a group who wants to align on accountabilities and responsibilities puts delegation level cards on the software delivery life cycle items or sub-items (one card per person). After placing the cards, they check the result. In case different cards have been played, the team starts a conversation - via Miro stickies or comments - or in a meeting about the specifics of the SDLC item/sub-item with respect to the delegation. You can also start a conversation in case the same cards have been played if that helps the team.
The conversation can go into estimation poker style: highest and lowest card players explain first what led them to play the card. You can also go round robin talking about the played cards. Important: make sure everyone is heard and can explain the reasoning why they played a card.
