Fourth person- Shouvik Bhattacharyya
Fourth person – Shouvik Bhattacharyya- i like to point it out in the agile world as long as you’re including the right set of
People you might decrease the scope dramatically because you will provide the right value so i think that’s why is becoming more and more
Popular because everybody speak to market today right so you cannot just think i am going to keep on increasing the scope and the customers gonna wait for me
Third person – Jay Packlick-i wanna give one real world example
Middle guy moderator –Real quick!!
Third person – Jay Packlick –Real quick!!,I was working with clients they had six months project, we had an algorithm to implement ,the potential for the algorithm was to increase revenue something like 5 million dollars per month , that was the value proposition and they were able to achieve that after 3 weeks, so now it works , they implemented the algorithm demonstrated that we can do that and it went into production in the end of four weeks so they dropped rest of the projects because there was other projects which had much higher return so I am just showing you an example decisions maximize value.if you are in business to make money tend to pay off you know!! If you update your plan
Middle guy moderator-true argument!!True argument from human value perspective. Scope or value what is the most important thing from the marching edge.
First person-Satyapal Chhabra- lets face it packlick, waterfalls perspective is the scope, not because they don’t want to deliver the value, the word inclusion right , the word inclusion has already covered every part of the scope, scope is given by someone who is qualified- (A)
B-they know the business or they are the business
Third person – Jay Packlick –They think they know, they are making a decision
First person-Satyapal Chhabra-I get it, one thing is , the waterfall again, in mean let’s face it it is something that is meant to deliver within the finite scope or finite cost and manufacture, agile means to, we can do it but we need inclusion by the right people or participation from right people that’s a Hugh assumption
Third person – Jay Pack lick –that’s true
First person-Satyapal Chhabra- that’s why agile becomes cyclic and goes for ever, it gets shelved or I don’t know, waterfall at least tends to deliver something which will be completely like a Motorola’s dynatac like a brick you can hit your wall ,I don’t you guys know about Motorola’s iridium product it was delivered like a brick you can hit your wall you can do dumbbells like that ,you can build muscles with it but you cannot make a phone call with that.
Third person Jay Packlick- the first question on the (can’t understand)
First person-Satyapal Chhabra- yes exactly, the point is that
Third person – Jay Packlick –so if you’re starting, you probably don’t want that much
First person-Satyapal Chhabra- so point is you went all the with 3 billion dollars investment, when you deliver something waterfall, yes agile would have given you the feedback early, I get the part but again it’s a where do you apply this, it’s up to the business or the IT team I would say to figure it out, what’s the best solution, right, so so, scope maybe encompassing the value
Third person Jay Packlick- so the scope raises the value is the subjective view from you. Mark do you like to add something?
Second Person Name Mark Yarbro-no I think shouvik is excited let him
Fourth person Shouvik Bhattacharyya-rise rise raise your hand if you want more stocks or more return on your investments. So raise your hands for stocks
Middle guy moderator- stock buyers come on rise your arms
Third person Jay Packlick-who want return on investment (ROI)? Yeah you are on the agile side, awesome.
