Talk description
Title:
Planning for value
Short synopsis:
Agile or waterfall? Which feature first? Which feature do we do next? Answering these questions becomes a lot easier if we consider value rather than cost. After all, there is always someone, somewhere, who will offer to do it for less - but will they deliver the same value? Once you get onto the value side of the equation deadlines become elastic. Cost-of-delay shows how different delivery dates result in different returns. Postponing high value work and building something less valuable first can actually increase total value. In this presentation we'll take a quick swing through cost-of-delay, introduce time-value profiles, show how applying "best before" and "use by" dates to your backlog items can help you maximise the value delivered and of course estimate value. Finally, we'll turn to end-dates, and why how value estimates rather than effort estimations can help determine completion dates.
