About this Presentation
The choice of projects is a critical decision. Too many projects should not have been even planned. Many other projects, while valuable, include too many unnecessary features, and then miss few features that are required for drawing the full value. Goldratt’s Six Questions, originally for assessing the value of new technologies, should be used for not just choosing the right project, but also for focusing on maximizing the value for the users.
