Believe it or not sometimes a project has more than one goal.
Sometimes they even have three Goals!
Consider this quick example… you can either have:
Something Quick, or
Something Cheap, or
Something with High Quality.
You can’t have all three.
Want it Quick? Then you better expect to pay for it!
So what do you do?
Sacrifice one and measure the other two? No, you should actually measure all three. And optimize the result.
Even if you can only maintain one of the three at the current level and improve the other two… that is a win! But you need to make sure that you at least measure all three if they are important.
Chart, compare, monitor all three.
Now, there is one assumption made during all of this… and it is probably a wrong assumption.
All three metrics are weighted equally.
Now… tune in for the next post to figure out how to weigh these goals out.
It is a pretty slick and easy tool to use.
