How much..
Is a feature worth?
![Page 16: Keeping up with Agilists](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032616/55a523c21a28ab70018b45a5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
User/Business Value + Time Value + Risk Reduction / Opportunity Enablement
Cost
What does this make easier? What sort of leverage can we get?
How timely is this? What’s the cost of missing?
How much do our users/customers value this?
Track a Business Value Point

Forecasting Dates in an Agile Way
1 Calculate Throughput across period (week, month, etc)
2 Use throughput to compute how many items on force-ranked backlog you can complete in the chosen period.
