Calculating Earned Business Value for an Agile Project: A New Metric
Agility Works. You can look at projects and see that more often than not, it delivers the goods. So, why do so many software projects remain artifact-driven and waterfallish? The most common excuses are that agility is too developer-centric, that it is too lightweight, and that feedback to business is hard to understand. In particular, many managers in larger companies miss the metrics that waterfall-type projects deliver.
In a new white paper, we consider a new metric - Earned Business Value (EBV) - to report progress and to manage Agile projects.
EBV is mathematically sound and is pragmatic for business. EBV can replace Earned Value Analysis (EVA), a usual metric for waterfall projects.
What do you think? I would love to get your comments. Post them to this blog or drop us a note: info@netobjectives.com
Dan's white paper is in the July 2006 issue of the Net Objectives ezine.
