There is no Secret Sauce
- "impact-driven development"
- fast feedback on impact (e.g. customer behaviour, production results, error rates ...)
- Decide to invest
- how to come from wrtiting software to earning money?
- explicitly acknowledge hypotheses
- verify ROI-Flow (all seperate steps)
- spend - people - delivery - impact - income
- Consider the impact on the rest of the portfolio
- Establish performance boundaries
- Express uncertainty in range
- -> ranged planning
- Forecast cost and return
- Proactively Manage risk
- look how the market might change
- competition
- opportunity
- Google alerts!
- execute and monitor
- measure income
- Measure impacts
- look at fundamentals
- working software is not enough
- impact analysis
- defined boundaries required (see above)
- Decentralized decisions
- steer by exception
- cost -> impact -> return
- inspect & adept
- Continuous improvement blah
- on regular basis, small cycles
- Conclusion:
- Test linked hypotheses
- show uncertainty in ranges
- measure impact
- allow decentralized decision making
- learn
Ideas:
- look at lean startup
