Or marketeers should acknowledge that they are ignorant or la zy about detailing them to IT. So how do we make IT become part of the ROI solution ?\nCan a simple model like the V.V.F. Value Visualizatio n Framework discuss, define, measure and prioritize software developme nt initiatives based on the ability to deliver on expectations of Valu e ?\nWhat are the 5 steps to V.V.F. ?  How does our Estimation of Sto ry Size - and delaying the delivery to another Sprint - affect Value? We know these affect Cost Savings, but do we as Product Owners, Planne rs and Change Agents have the terminology to describe and measure econ omic and business value ?\n\nHey, we talked about this at the July 201 3 meeting, and it is about time we talked about it again.
