  Determining and Communicating the Project Value  
Companies are demanding reliable financial measures of proposed projects' value. Yet few IT professionals know how to calculate, communicate, or deliver evidence of Return On Investment.

Moreover, traditional ROI calculations may tell only part of the necessary story and several proprietary alternative techniques are being touted.

The greatest difficulty is in areas such as testing, where benefits often seem intangible and crunched time places a premium on flexibility.

This interactive workshop teaches IT professionals how to define, calculate and convincingly communicate the business value of IT investments. This applies to both IT projects as a whole and for specific technical approaches such as test automation.

Exercises enhance learning by allowing you to practice applying practical techniques to realistic examples.

  Participants Will Learn:
  • The financial information that business decision makers need and demand
  • ROI and related calculations, strengths and weaknesses
  • Identifying the full set of costs and benefits
  • Quantifying intangibles, risk, and flexibility
  • Presenting and reporting business value measurements so people pay attention
