Meeting Abstract: |
What is "Business Value"? Everyone seems to think they know. And everyone seems to think that their understanding is shared by other people. But when we scratch the surface we discover an interesting and largely uncharted territory. This workshop is designed to create a learning opportunity that supports real conversation about Business Value in YOUR organization or team. By the end of the session, we will have: * Increased our fluency around Business Value * Defined and Prioritized Business Value Issues & Concerns * Identified and Prioritized Business Value Metrics * Created an Action Plan for moving forward |
