RE: Re: Sticking point

Stefan,

If "work" is tied to "value production," then maybe we can separate he
concept of working harder produces more value. The "trick" is to define
the value upfront, then executing the planned effort against the value
delivery can be used to measure the amount of value returned for the
hours invested.

Otherwise work becomes a Level of Effort process, so the longer I work
the more "value" appears to be produced - which is not the case in most
software orgs.
