Delivering solutions at the speed you need
A prioritization model that values time, not just cost
What is time worth to your company? We measure projects on cost and size, but although we pursue deadlines, we rarely quantify how to value time. Without a way to measure time sensitivity, organizations make poor, subjective prioritization decisions.
In “Delivering solutions at the speed you need,” we introduce CD3 (Cost of Delay Divided by Duration), a prioritization approach designed to help organizations deliver value as fast as the business needs it.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- Why traditional prioritization fails: how focusing on cost and ROI alone ignores the value of speed and creates delays that erode benefits
- How to calculate cost of delay: practical methods for quantifying what it costs your organization when valuable work is delayed
- The CD3 formula: how to weight cost of delay by duration to create a single, comparable prioritization metric
