Abstract

AbstractWe start by looking at projects and their most abstract product elements, the epics, and show how to estimate their benefit using benefit points. Then we show how to sort epics according to a benefit-cost index to help decide the order in which to put epics into releases. Instantiating points with a monetary value provides added means of prioritizing and determining when to stop sending epics into construction. We show two modes of estimating benefit: one where the purpose is to fulfil a given goal (confirmatory mode), and the other where the purpose is to explore where to set the goal (exploratory mode).
