I met Clarke Ching last night. We talked about business value and the theory of constraints.
We decided that the best way to set up a project is to run a few very short iterations at the start. The iterations should identify the constraints within the project, whether they be in the analysis or development team. Once the constraints have been identified, it should be possible to manage around them. Clarke thinks that the analysis team is likely to be the constraint because it should be fairly easy to find additional developers to add to the team. Any additional developers could work on alternative designs.
It was a very pleasant evening.
