Problem

Scenario

You're advising an engineering leader who needs to decide whether to fund a technical initiative that competes with other roadmap work. Leadership wants to know how to judge the investment in business terms, not just technical merit.

Question

How do you evaluate whether a technical initiative is worth the investment from a business perspective?

What This Tests

  • Estimating business impact from technical work
