Download or read book The Art of Business Value written by Mark Schwartz and published by IT Revolution. This book was released on 2016-04-07 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you really understand what business value is? Information technology can and should deliver business value. But the Agile literature has paid scant attention to what business value means—and how to know whether or not you are delivering it. This problem becomes ever more critical as you push value delivery toward autonomous teams and away from requirements “tossed over the wall” by business stakeholders. An empowered team needs to understand its goal! Playful and thought-provoking, The Art of Business Value explores what business value means, why it matters, and how it should affect your software development and delivery practices. More than any other IT delivery approach, DevOps (and Agile thinking in general) makes business value a central concern. This book examines the role of business value in software and makes a compelling case for why a clear understanding of business value will change the way you deliver software. This book will make you think deeply about not only what it means to deliver value but also the relationship of the IT organization to the rest of the enterprise. It will give you the language to discuss value with the business, methods to cut through bureaucracy, and strategies for incorporating Agile teams and culture into the enterprise. Most of all, this book will startle you into new ways of thinking about the cutting-edge of Agile practice and where it may lead.
Download or read book The Value Add Accountant written by Jean E Cunningham and published by Jcc Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounting delivers a lot of indecipherable reports. Finance rarely addresses the business leader's need for a greater understanding of the complete financial impact of decisions made as well as decisions to be made. Both functions also have a lot of internal process waste. The Value Add Accountant can provide solutions to all of these issues. Jean Cunningham and Orest Fiume wrote about their experience as CFO's creating this role in the 2003 seminal Lean Accounting text, Real Numbers: Accounting for the Lean Organization. The Value Add Accountant expands the Real Numbers message by providing detailed examples of how to reveal accounting waste and get buy in on these pivotal accounting changes. It also describes how accounting can effectively evaluate corporate waste reduction and improvement activities. You will learn how adopting this new role can enable accounting and finance to proactively support business decision making and impact improved outcomes.
