Rethinking Software Project Approaches and Goals to Increase Business Value
Jeffrey Davidson · 2013
In an effort to bring more value, save more time, and make a bigger difference, software projects are rethinking every part of project delivery. Companies are attempting new approaches to solve challenges and opportunities. These changes herald how the definition for project success is moving from the Iron Triangle of Scope-Schedule-Cost to a more flexible and impactful model of Value-Quality-Constraints. The tectonic shift influences nearly all elements of how software projects are conceived, executed, and measured. From redefining the problem statement to piloting solutions in a matter of weeks, the new focus on value over traditional project metrics shakes project management and requires a new understanding.
