Theory of Analytic Value
Doug presents a framework for assessing analytical value in relation to time. Drawing from his experience as both analyst and manager, he'll introduce two core principles: value is only realized upon customer delivery, and earlier delivery generates more value. He'll then show how using these principles helps deliver maximum value to the business. This practical approach helps teams identify which efforts matter most and frame discussions around actual delivery outcomes.
