Business Value Driven Development / Customer Focused Delivery Workshop

Business value driven development (BVDD) focuses on effectively delivering business value by following lean principles.   Business value can be increased revenues or decreased costs. For customer-facing software, business value typically involves customer-focused delivery – such as developing things that increase customer satisfaction.    BVDD concentrates on delivering value as quickly as possible.  It involves measuring business value and tracking its progress.   BVDD breaks up software changes into small releasable items and sequences these items to deliver the most value in the quickest manner.  It also deals with the impact of these changes on all stakeholders, e.g. the customer, marketing, and customer service.  

OBJECTIVES

This course helps participants to create small change sets that can be efficiently delivered. You will learn how to:

  • Break up large epics into releasable items
  • Estimate business value for the items
  • Sequence items for maximum business value delivery
  • Manage impacts on non-development groups.
