Dear All So Value trumps Flow, and Flow trumps Value....... But what do people do to ensure they are delivering value rather just features or user stories? ...
FWIW, Flow trumps waste. My split: sales increasing <-- A feature that Generates an increase in sales expense reducing <-- A feature that Reduces expenses...

Oops Spot On. Flow trumps waste. Typo on my part. :-) ... -- Regards Chris Matts...
Chris, <<What do other people use?>> I usually ask the one that's paying for it if he/she wants to pay for it. I guess it all comes down to it. Regards, Pablo...
Pablo, ... I'd like to think that this approach is all you need. My experience is that just because somebody's got it in the budget doesn't necessarily mean...

Hi Brandon, I totally agree. Understanding what's valuable takes a lot more then that :) What I've seen work well in the past is a very high degree of...
Chris, I use a method we call capability analysis. By breaking what is going to be delivered down into a type of hierarchy (epics, features/components,...
(responding to all in general) One must also factor in the cost of delay. Feature A may be more important than feature B but feature B may lose it's value in...
Hi Chris 2009/11/4 Chris Matts <chris.matts@...> ... Recently I've been talking in terms of capability and fidelity. Capability is probably a term I...

Hi Pable 2009/11/4 Pablo Emanuel <pablo.emanuel@...> ... I don' know enough about ITIL to be able to answer sorry. Average and standard deviation of...
Karl, <<Average and standard deviation of what?>> it's a simplistic metaphore, but the idea is that, in terms of process control, warranty measures your...

Hi All, I'm not sure whether we've answered Chris's question. Its clear that some teams are delivering value today. How is this value generated? For me this is...
I think you're close to my answer here, Paul, but in a different way. The development team at large should do its utmost to implement the vision (maybe even...
Hi Eric, Yes it does sound like an healthy relationship. In my mind the end result is greater then the sum of the parts. Different people have different...
Hi Chris, I'm talking about a project a few years back. It was for Network Rail. If you remember they had a few problems with dodgy track and trains de-railing...
Hi Paul Thanks for this, it makes much more sense. Network rail is an organisation for whom risk is the primary concern ( I hope ) rather than profit. It...
I work on a zero-notice-period, so that my clients can terminate my contract at any point if they think I'm not delivering enough value. I've just realised...
