Value Methodology

Separate INTENT from METHOD

Creating Clarity of Thought

Then build a Method based on Intent

Value Methodology is Based on Six Deceptively Simple Questions

- What is it?

- What does it do?

- How much does it cost?

- What is it worth?

- What else will do that?

- What does that cost?

What does the Customer Really Want?

Need Something Done

Want an Outcome

Want a Function

NOT A FEATURE

We need to change our conversation from:

F O R M to P U R P O S E

Value Management

Framing Your Project for Success

Does your team meetings turn into a clash between people who ‘know’ the problem, AND ‘have’ the solution? With each person describing the conditions differently! Every solution requiring someone else to change!

Set the project stage. We lead the team though a structured job plan. A plan where everyone contributes, elements are determined, alternative solutions explored, and a plan for action is developed based on risk factors.

Project Framing Event Delivers
	The business reason for the Project
	Goals with definitions
	Weighted Attributes
	Performance Matrix
	Map of functions with relationships
All created by your group, with agreement and 'buy-in'
