The Economics of Value Delivery: Do the Math!

Description

We tout the business results of applying SAFe and learn the principles from great sources like Don Reinertsen’s book, “The Principles of Product Development Flow.” But how can we connect the dots from the economics to the practices we want to apply and the decisions we need to make?

In this session we use scenarios, in story problem format, and apply real numbers to demonstrate the value of the principles in action. We will explore finding optimal batch size, applying the economics framework to a specific decision, the cost of too much WIP, “death by shoulder tap”, and fast feedback cycles. We will also dive into the broad-brush practices of collaboration and relentless improvement.

As a result of this session, we will equip you to apply math to reinforce the economics of value delivery.  No slide rule required.

We have helped our clients:
  • Increase productivity by 25-75%
  • Reduce development costs by 50-60%
  • Accelerate time to market by 20-40%

SAFe provided the agility, visibility, and transparency needed to ensure we could integrate with numerous other efforts, get predictable in our delivery, and ensure timelines are met.

Workbook: The Economics of Value Delivery

When we discuss the economics of agile + lean practices, what are the quantified benefits of improved value delivery when paired with Business Agility? 

In this workbook you will:

  • Learn how to demonstrate the economics of value delivery using real scenarios and mathematical values.
  • Have a better understanding of lean-agile principles, having seen practical examples of them in a quantified way. 
  • Bring colleagues and stakeholders together to improve practices and make decisions based on the economics of value delivery.

Training: Economics of Value Delivery

In this workshop we use scenarios, in story problem format, and apply real numbers to demonstrate the value of the principles in action.

We will explore finding optimal batch size, applying an economics framework to a specific decision, the cost of too much WIP, and fast feedback cycles. We will also dive into the broad-brush practices of collaboration and relentless improvement.

Then we will work together on exploring the value of these and other practices using scenarios and parameters specific to your organization.
