• it is based on the Impact Mapping & Value Requirements model to improve the team's focus on value

  • Delivering value is the priority of agile teams. One of the principles

    • “Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer via early & continuous delivery of valuable software”.
  • This principle sets the focus on delivering value to customers

    • Value from the customer’s point of view is the benefit they think they will get
    • The focus on customer value has led to measuring and tracking value delivered with user stories
    • User stories are great for many reasons, but a user story is focused on a small set of stakeholders: A user story describes functionality that will be valuable
    • Sprint Reviews lacks stakeholders, maybe because having the wrong discussions
    • The discussion should address the value of all stakeholders not just customers
  • Questions for all

    • A Product Owner may have the following value questions
      • Are we solving the right problem?
      • Are we building the right solution for that problem?
      • Are customers willing to pay for it?
      • Can I make money developing it?
    • For a customer, value questions could be
      • Does it solve a problem I know I have in a better way than my current solution?
      • Does it solve a problem that I didn’t know I had?
      • Am I willing to use it?
      • Am I willing to pay for it?
    • A stakeholder could be interested in
      • Am I making the right investment?
      • Am I reaching my stakeholder objectives?
  • various levels of outcomes and outputs: another definition of value and progress
