Agility is about quickly delivering business value. This concept has a lot of issues. How do you rapidly determine whether a feature is producing business value? How do you assign a measure to the business value for a feature? How do you prioritize a set of features to maximize the delivery of value? How do you track and report on that delivery?

In this session, we’ll explore ways to answer these questions. The talk starts with creating a hypothesis for whether a feature is delivering business value and determining an objective way to measure if the hypothesis is true. Next covered is assigning business value to features and using that value to help prioritize features. It winds up with making visible the status of business value delivery to help determine what to do next.

Anyone involved in generating ideas for implementation – customers, product owners, product managers – will benefit from having clearer ways to track business value delivery. Implementers – developers, testers, and others – will get better feedback as to the business value of what they are creating
