Why ? Complexity of user environment and structure of services

Servant Leadership
The highest type of ruler is oneof whose existence the people arebarely aware… When his task isaccomplished and things have beencompleted, all the people say,“We ourselves have achieved it !”
Lao-TzuTao Te Ching5th century BC

Dude’s Law, Cost of Delay & WSJF
We complete the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) because that is the one that delivers the biggest bang for our buck. The “Weight” we use is the cost of delay.

Dude’s Law, Cost of Delay & WSJF
We complete the Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF) because that is the one that delivers the biggest bang for our buck. The “Weight” we use is the cost of delay
Therefore ...
If all the work is the same duration, then we do the job with the highest cost of delay first
If all the work has the same cost of delay, then we do the shortest job first
Duration works best where unit cost is constant – can use cost / size

Business Analysis Shared Services
AEIOU FrameworkAEIOU is a heuristic to help interpret observations gathered by ethnographic practice in industry. Its two primary functions are to code data, and to develop building blocks of models that will ultimately address the objectives and issues of a client.
Activities: are goal-directed sets of actions—paths towards things people want to accomplish. What are the modes people work in, and the specific activities and processes they go through?
Environments: include the entire arena where activities take place. What is the character and function of the space overall, of each individual's spaces, and of shared spaces?
Interactions: are between a person and someone or something else; they are the building blocks of activities. What is the nature of routine and special interactions between people, between people and objects in their environment, and across distances?
Objects: are building blocks of the environment, key elements sometimes put to complex or unintended uses (thus changing their function, meaning and context). What are the objects and devices people have in their environments and how do they relate to their activities?
Users: are the people whose behaviours, preferences, and needs are being
