The first principle of Agile is to deliver value to the customer. Understanding Business Value better can often do more than anything else to make your efforts better. We need to improve our Business Value Engineering.
In this Discovery Session, we intend to look at the principles and values that underlie Business Value and its uses. And we will look at how we practice Business Value Engineering throughout the life of the effort. Expect challenges, not pat answers. This discussion will enable you to improve your Business Value Engineering.
Appraisals, bonuses, and compensation in general have a dramatic impact on individual and team performance, and yet these subjects tend to be avoided as if they were taboo.

It will examine the history and literature of reward systems, particularly those in environments which require collaboration. Two case studies will be discussed, including one concerning team bonuses.
