Are you delivering value to the Customer and Organization?

Delivering value to the Customer and Organization:

Ask below question to your self to find the answer.

  1. When we are delivering Product or Service?
  2. Are we delivering value? 
  3. To whom we are delivering value?
  4. What value we are delivering?
  5. When we are delivering value?

All  the above questions are answered in two context, one is customer happiness and organization's ROI ($).

All companies ultimately come down to one element i.e.: MONEY.

When customers are happy, good culture, process followed for the quality and timely delivery of the product or service will make (and save) us more money.

As a Manager we are in the business for generating money for the customer and improving customer satisfaction.

Both are relevant and connected.

The actual value will be delivered during every release (scrum), as mentioned in the below chart.

As a (Project/Product/Program) manager we need to work on below activities:
  • Creating roadmap
  • Business cases
  • Analyzing the industry and competition
  • Product strategy
  • Product launch
  • Auditing results
  • Sustaining product
  • Re-engineering product
  • Product retirement
You should recognize that the value should be delivered to the customer at the earliest. Using "Scrum" makes this more evident. Refer above chart.
 
Below value metrics will help you to create value:
  • Revenue
  • Investment
  • Operating cost
  • Profit
  • Customer satisfaction
  • Employee satisfaction
  • Repeat customers
  • Customer referrals
  • Time to market
  • Growth
  • Market share
  • Market drivers (conducting events, roadshow, royalty program, gift coupons, campaigning)

Certified Enterprise Architect Professional (CEAP) - Module 4 - Architecture Precursors

 Architecture Precursors: Precursors to modern Enterprise Architecture (EA) include early frameworks like IBM's Business Systems Planning (BSP), which focused on aligning business strategy with information systems, as well as other Information Systems (IS) architecture methodologies that emerged in the 1970s and 80s, emphasizing the connection between business processes and IT systems, laying the groundwork for the holistic view of an organization that EA represents today; the "Master Plan for Information Systems" by Evans and Hague is also considered a foundational concept in this area.

4 T's - Technology, Time, Teamwork, Transparency

 1) Technology: Software development technologies are the tools and methods that developers use to design, develop, test, and deploy software applications. These include a wide range of software technologies, such as programming languages, frameworks and libraries, databases, and cloud computing platforms. 2) Time: A timebox is a fixed time period within which a deliverable must be produced in a project management context. It's a time management technique that involves dividing time into individual time periods, each with its own goal, duration, and deadline. Timeboxes are self-contained calendar events that can't be extended once they've started. The fundamental principle of timeboxing is that time in timeboxes can't shift, and once the time runs out, work must stop, even if the task isn't finished.  3) Teamwork: Teamwork in project management is a measure of how well a project's team works together to achieve a goal. It involves collaboration, communication, a...
