Agile2013

Forget about comparing apples and oranges. How about dollars and cents? My user story has more business value than yours does. Or does it? One of the most exciting aspects of agile development is the emphasis on creating and delivering products based on prioritized business value. But at some point early in the process -- someone has to figure out that value. And that someone might be you.

This workshop explores the art and science of business value. What is business value? Is it more than a singular dollar value randomly generated by a product manager? What methods could be used to produce numeric business value relevant to user stories in an agile development environment? How can well-defined business values help focus and accelerate teams to make better decisions and deliver better products? Come to this workshop and discover the two surprisingly simple techniques to estimate and quantify business value.
