Market dynamics are one of the influences on Solution and PI Roadmaps, which are visual tools that forecast and communicate the planned deliverables, milestones, and investments over a time horizon12. Market dynamics are the external factors that affect the demand and supply of a product or service in the market, such as customer needs, competitor actions, regulatory changes, technological trends, and economic conditions3. Market dynamics influence Solution and PI Roadmaps in the following ways:
•They help identify the market problems or opportunities that the solution aims to address or capture12.
•They help prioritize the features and capabilities that deliver the most value to the customers and stakeholders12.
•They help align the solution delivery with the market rhythms and events, which are the periodic or one-time occurrences that have a significant impact on the solution adoption or performance12.
•They help validate the assumptions and hypotheses about the customer and the solution through feedback and learning12.
Some additional information that might be helpful for you are:
•The other options (A, B, and D) are not influences on Solution and PI Roadmaps, but rather elements or outcomes of the roadmaps.
•Value Streams are the primary constructs for understanding, organizing, and delivering value to the customer. Value Streams are the basis for defining the solution vision, strategy, and roadmap4.
•Customer-centric Features are the work items that represent the benefits or outcomes that the solution provides to the customer or user. Customer-centric Features are the main content of the Solution and PI Roadmaps5.
•ART capacity is the amount of work that an Agile Release Train (ART) can handle in a Program Increment (PI). ART capacity is a factor that determines the feasibility and scope of the Solution and PI Roadmaps.
