Thanks all! Agreed - we have a tiering strategy and other ways that we measure the actual success of stories, but its always a desire to at least have a benchmark for quantity.

I'd be super curious to hear other answers on this as I think about budget planning for my next FY haha... but here is what we've had for the last 2 years of scenarios at Mendix:

We still save the most $$ by hosting the event itself in our offices so we dont have to worry about a significant venue cost. Year 1 was 25 attendees, and this year we are targeting 40.

If your team is using and ever wants to do some knowledge sharing or brainstorming, just let me know 🙂

Hi Jennifer - We have not. Still looking for some folks who may be willing to show us their spaces (and we can give a tour of ours). Right now I think we have a pretty basic setup in place, but would be interested to see how others are doing things like facilitating more discussions, event management, resources - and really anything else!

I feel that something like Asana or Monday is so worth it! i wonder if you could even justify one of their more basic packages just for your immediate team's use. also the calendar views are nice too, so i will update the task due dates to intended publish dates as they get closer to approval, so you can also export the calendar as a PDF to share with others as wel.

There are ways to export certain views from Asana which I do sometimes for our stakeholders internally who just want a clear list of what stories are in progress, and where. There may be some view-only share links i just havent played around with those as much.

Hi Jennifer! My team manages all of our stories (upwards of 60 in various stages of progress at a given time) in Asana. We have pretty standard stages of that workflow + subtasks. Happy to share some screenshots if it would help, though I know that the experience of tracking in Google or Excel would be quite different. I had to get us out of Excel a few years back for the exact reasons you mentioned!
