Business Value - Soup to Nuts
A few years ago Andy Pols and Chris Matts wrote a Cutter Article called “The Five Business Value Commandments”. In the article, Andy and Chris explained what Business Value was and the principles that should be used to determine it.
This session explains business value and presents their experience to date.
This interactive session covers
What is business value? “Bad” business value statements. War Stories.
It would appear that the key to successfully implementing business value is short production releases with automated acceptance testing to ensure quality.
What is business value? A very SHORT introduction to business value modelling.
Business value - The Case Study. An exercise to allow participants to create a business value model based on a real life case study.
Thats not business value! An exercise to determine whether business value statements are actually business value or simply nonsense. This will be canned examples plus examples from the group.
Business value - How it really works! Short experience report by Chris on Andy on how their approach to business value has evolved over the centuries to cater with different issues. Why are short iterations so important to changing stakeholders investment behaviour. Why IT should never sit in the middle of the business conversation on investment. + Questions.
Group discussions - The room breaks into groups to discuss business value…. War Stories, Clinics ( What / How / Why do I? ) et al.
Summary - An accellerated goldfish bowl to suck the learning from the room. We hope to video this part of the session as well as record it on flip-charts.
