◥ University. {q} PhD. {t} Themes. {t} PM. Value Planning Book manuscript. About the Book Value Planning (VP) means you will elicit and clarify critical stakeholder values quantitatively, and prioritize delivering those values, as soon as possible. Key Planning Concepts 1. STAKEHOLDERS: Identify your most critical stakeholders. 2. OBJECTIVES: Identify the smart levels of their most critical value improvements. 3. 4. 5. 6. We will make use of our Planning Language, called ‘Planguage’ (‘PL’). The central capability of Planguage is that it can be used for any system of ‘product’ or ‘service’, at any level of abstraction or detail. Planguage is capable of expressing all results, improvements, values and qualities quantitatively.

Planguage can help you plan, estimate and track delivery of all costs and resources. Planguage will help you keep numeric accounts of multiple critical values, and corresponding multiple critical resources, so you can manage value for money; i.e. the efficiency of planning, decision-making and contracted result deliveries. About the Author. 2012-03-20 - Value-Driven Development:Principles and Values. 1996 - (Keeney) Value-Focused Thinking. The standard way of thinking about decisions is backwards, says Ralph Keeney: people focus first on identifying alternatives rather than on articulating values. A problem arises and people react, placing the emphasis on mechanics and fixed choices instead of on the objectives that give decisionmaking its meaning.

In this book, Keeney shows how recognizing and articulating fundamental values can lead to the identification of decision opportunities and the creation of better alternatives. The intent is to be proactive and to select more attractive decisions to ponder before attempting any solutions. Keeney describes specific procedures for articulating values by identifying and structuring objectives qualitatively, and he shows how to apply these procedures in various cases.

He then explains how to quantify objectives using simple models of values. File Galleries. Kick-Ass Project Management. GilbFest 2014 Class Documentation. COMPETITIVE PLANNING BOOK AS BEING WRITTEN. 'VALUE PLANNING' BOOK AS BEING WRITTEN.
