The INVEST criteria provide the foundation for clarity, consistency, and collaboration in large-scale Agile delivery. For enterprises, they are far more than a team-level checklist they are a strategic framework that connects vision to execution. By ensuring that every user story is independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable, organizations enable transparency, accountability, and faster value delivery.

Commitment ratio is one of the most valuable metrics for understanding Agile maturity and delivery predictability in large organizations. It bridges the gap between planning and execution, providing leadership with visibility into whether teams are delivering as promised.
