18. Idea #3: Cost of Delay
• Understand the value of the things we are working on
and how that value decays over time
• Understand the cost of queues and waiting times

19. Make better decisions
• Better Decision-making – by making the economic trade-
offs visible (based on real metrics like CD3)
• Better Prioritization – to deliver more total value
• By changing the focus – from efficiency and cost to speed and
value
