📌Step 8: Assess the Value Created
After all the activity – solving problems, detailing requirements, configuring systems – it’s easy to lose track of the big picture.
Laura’s reminder: Circle back to the original business objectives.
Key questions:
🍩What value did we deliver?
🍩Are we still on track with our original objectives?
🍩What tangibly improved as a result of this project?
Why this matters:
✅ Creates positive momentum
✅ Boosts team morale
✅ Builds a supportive business-technology culture
✅ Provides data for future project funding
Don’t forget to celebrate what was achieved – and document what’s next.
That “out of scope” list? The phase two bucket? Those are your future projects waiting for funding.
More organizations are moving toward metrics-based evaluation here. If you’re not measuring the value delivered, you’re missing the opportunity to prove BA impact and secure support for the next initiative.
Do you formally assess project value at the end, or does everyone just move on to the next thing?
