4 likes2,073 views
The document discusses value estimation and prioritization using the concept of cost of delay (COD) in agile project management. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing features based on their economic impact and demonstrates how to quantify the cost of delay to enhance decision-making. Various frameworks and examples are provided to illustrate effective prioritization and the associated financial implications of delays in project delivery.
