Added The Conundrum of Project Scoping - Better, Faster, Cheaper event / CEO Roundtable: Chicago

Reena Teichman

Wednesday, June 1, 2011
6:00 - 8:30 PM

The Mid-America Club

iCal

Rebecca Parsons will present "Better, Faster, Cheaper - which lever to pull in Project Scoping". She will then join a panel of several Chicago area executives who will share their views and experiences. A general Q&A session follows in which you can engage and share with other local leaders your successes and challenges on this subject. The phrase "better, faster, cheaper" was tossed around by the administrator of NASA in the US as a signal that the agency would do more with less. This productivity would be achieved by accepting significantly increased risk. However, most IT project teams are not in a position to increase risk significantly and understand that projects generally have to trade-off these three levers. Two of the goals are often achievable, but getting all three at the same time is difficult at best. While the notions of "faster" and "cheaper" have clear definitions, the interpretation of "better" is more varied. However, experiences show that focusing too long on "faster" or "cheaper", at the expense of "better", often leads to "slower" and "costlier". This talk first describes the various dimensions of time and cost that underlie "faster" and "cheaper". Next we'll discuss in more detail the various dimensions of "better", including how these dimensions can be measured. We'll then discuss how leaning too hard on the "better" lever to achieve timeliness or economy ultimately leads to late deliveries and additional costs, with the sacrifices made to quality still in force. These descriptions provide a mechanism for more accurately deciding, in both the short and medium terms, when to pull which lever on a project and what the real consequences of that decision could be.

Gleacher Center

iCal

Please join moderator, Troy Henikoff (Excelerate) and panelists Jim Dugan (OCA Ventures), Mike Evans (GrubHub), Ted Feierstein (PrimeMetrixLLC), Sam Guren (Hyde Park Angels) and Sean Harper (FeeFighters) on March 29th at 5:30 p.m.! Let’s face it, entrepreneurs and investors speak different languages. Most of the time, the entrepreneur pitches the investor and the investor asks questions, and both walk away confused. What were the deal terms? What are the next steps? Most end up asking themselves: What went wrong? From consumer web, B2B, gaming; mobile; to devices and technology-enabled business services, there are core dimensions of any investment opportunity that investors and acquirers seek. To dramatically improve the odds of getting funded at any stage, you are well-served to understand, communicate and demonstrate how these fundamentals relate to your specific investment opportunity. We are bringing the Gen-Y web community and the Gen-X technology/business communities together to hear from a panel of Angel and VC investors, B2B and consumer web entrepreneurs, and a technology investment banker, as they speak to the essential language of the technology deal.
