Measuring Business Value: Linking Purpose to Execution

Tonight T-Mobile will present Peter Moon a Managing Partner at Navicet, who will build on a theme of measuring performance. By settling on the right measures at the beginning of the project the team gains greater autonomy, innovation, and positive impact for delivery. A simple set of questions can be used to surface hidden assumptions and create clear, meaningful goals for the entire project team and stakeholders. Peter will share some pragmatic approaches to ensure that this vision serves the project team every day, from prioritizing your backlog, minimizing risk through early testing and informing tradeoff decisions. Here are a few things you can expect to take away from this talk:

• How to create a more responsive, effective team.

• Increase stakeholder satisfaction and deliver more business value.

• Build better backlogs based on effort, benefit and dependencies.
