An Intro to Business Value Engineering

On June 30th, while I was in Montreal giving a CSM Course, I also joined the Scrum User Group and gave a new, somewhat different, presentation on BV Engineering. They seemed to like it more, so maybe I am making the points in a somewhat more practical, concrete way.

Here is the link to the PDF: http://www.slideshare.net/jhlittle/intro-to-bv-engineering-montreal

Thank you again for your call to thoughts about how to engineer Value. We tend to take the definition of Value in Scrum for granted. But I observe we (Scrum Practioners) often take a simplified definition that does not include KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION! I'll write more on this on my blog soon. In the meantime, the Montreal Scrum User Group's website is www.scrumusergroup.ca.

BTW and talking about managers (your more recent subject), "Kittyhawk" is the name of HP's innovative 1.3 inch drive. It was a failure because management failed to adapt to the unfolding reality: they had created a marketing plan at a time they knew nothing about the market, and insisted on sticking to it.
