Fifty teams. Fifty definitions of “ready.”
Every team in the program swears their stories are refined. Every team means something different by it. The standards deck nobody opens was supposed to fix that — instead, requirement quality is invisible until a cross-team dependency blows up mid-PI. Vindex applies one quality gate across every team and makes story health visible at the program level.
Real scores in 30 seconds. No signup, nothing to install. Your data is deleted after 24 hours.
The dependency was always going to be discovered. One quality gate across both teams finds it while it's still a conversation, not an escalation.
Consistency by memo doesn't work
The definition-of-ready slide exists. Whether any given story meets it depends entirely on which team wrote it and who was in refinement that day.
Cross-team dependencies inherit the weakest story
Your team's delivery rests on another team's vague story. You find out in integration, three sprints after it was cheap to fix.
Program leads fly blind on quality
Velocity, burndown, and predictability all get dashboards. The requirement quality that drives all three has none — until Vindex.
What changes when the whole program shares one gate.
One definition of ready, actually enforced
Not a slide — a score on every story, applied identically across all fifty teams, with findings the team can act on.
Dependencies checked before they're load-bearing
The stories other teams depend on are held to the same bar as everyone else's, while fixing them is still cheap.
Quality visible at the program level
Story health per team and per project, in one place. Coaching goes where the scores say it's needed — not where the loudest escalation came from.
