It wasn't much time before he understood that he is breaking stones since morning. Out of curiosity, he went closer and asked him "what are you doing?". without blinking he said "Can't you see that I am cutting stones that is will build a great citadel. It isn't difficult to see that if we can help our team members to see the larger goals, mindset can be influenced.

Mosesraj - Value - Quintessence of Agile
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
42% of start-up failures are attributed to one reason - "They developed something that is not a need". Over the last few decades many organizations have spent billions in digital transformation. However, few years back Forrester estimated that $900 billion worth of spend in digital transformation will miss the mark. Be it startups or organizations that transform digitally, they both find their digital journey tough. In the user centric world, digital transformations are still plagued with traditional mindset. If we see from hindsight, these organizations could never ascertain value of their solution upfront from an end user angle. We need a value foresight to deal with this existential challenge and there is no crystal ball to predict it. So, the questions CIOs ask is – Can Value be defined and how can it be engineered into the solution? If value can be engineered in, can every team member be an innovator? Anything that is definable can be qualified, improved upon and dealt upfront.
This talk will help define value and provide a set of aspects on how successful products in the industry have engineered value upfront. Talk will also draw experiences of digital transformation initiatives where the research from successful products have been implemented – CODEX, a project management platform that transforms the governance of engagements for customers & OnTheGo, mobile intranet in the hands of employees for their daily needsIn a nutshell, this talk will drive home the point of value engineering every aspect of the product for best in class user experience and adoption.
