Link software development to value creation-and optimizing early returns

Ultimately, software development is about creating value-yet, all too often, applications fail to deliver the business value customers need. This book will help you change that, by linking software development directly to value creation. You'll learn how to identify which features add value and which don't-and refocus on delivering more value, more rapidly.

Software by Numbers shows you how to:

Identify the Minimum Marketable Feature (MMF)-the fundamental unit of value in software development
Accelerate value delivery by linking iterative development to iterative funding
Optimize architectural cost through incremental delivery
Prioritize feature delivery based on "mini-ROI" assessments
Involve the software customer more effectively
Quantify financial risk and assess it at every step of the development sequence
Manage "intangibles" throughout the software development process

Whatever methodology you're already using, this book shows how to achieve the goals that matter most to your business: reduced risk, better cash flow, and higher ROI.
