Imagine success after launch … what happened?
• In time/in budget
• Vision/goals ...
… but how does it relate?
• No clue ….
• …but XYZ might know
• I’m just trying to survive
3
Specified means: Delivering a Function
What will change in the “real” World?
something will be performed differently: faster, more/less …
Potential to fail
Invisible Goals

1. Reverse Engineer underlying Hypothesis:
Causality-Chain to Return-On-Invest
(“Collect Underpants  Profit”)
2. Visualize and Align
3. Slice and map existing Backlog
It is already too late …
22
• Design measurability into solution
• Find variations/relations
• Automate
• Visualize relevant metrics
• Remove irrelevant metrics
“Test Driven Development for Business”
We cannot measure this …
23
• Clearly defined Criteria for Success/Failure
• Safe-to-fail (and fast Feedback)
• Multiple Options (in Competition with each other)
• Goals for Steering – not for Bonus Gratifications
Adhere to Stop Conditions
24
Every Endeavour is based on Success Hypothesis
• Visualize
• Quantify and Measure
• Analyse Hierarchy: Organization – Behavior Changes
Impact Mapping to guide agile Teams
• Split User Stories for faster Feedback
• Discover more Options
• Stop earlier on Failure *and* Success
