What I like

• Well-executed exercises
• Another useful model to apply in specific cases
• The exercises
• The "real life" example
• Interesting concept, and useful
• Good practice, learning the techniques
• The idea of a Business Value Model
• Changing on thing influences many goals
• Business value at a higher level
• Very interactive
• The visualisation of it
• Dynamics and practice in session
• room + presence of creativity
• Collaborative way of learning
• Seems important. I sense the usefulness, but I don't quite get it...
• Real life example - "Sales pitch" was really too good!
• Practical exercise and fun
• Interesting to use
• The examples make the idea very clear
• The difference between leading and lagging indicators
• Inspiring
• Important subject
• Really great preparation
• Interaction
• Great topic, well presented
• Once I understood the general purpose and vision behind this; I liked the way you can visualise and model your business vision/goal
• Opportunity to move between groups
• Use model as start for conversation
• Pascal giving specific advice to groups
• Portia and Pascal! and the way you are able to get participants (me) thinking
• Topic extremely useful - valuable, especially showing relationships within the model
• A good model to reason about business value
• I liked doing something artistic too, as well as learning the theory
• Lots of content, and ideas I can really take away and use on my current project
• Well thought out and planned activities, excellent facilitation
• I liked the "travelling consultant" thing you did
• Good timer on the screen
• It gave and introduction on Business Value Model
• Exercises were interesting
• The coaches were excellent!
• Very clear
• Good practical case
• Good example
• Lots of hands-on
• Great intro, clear examples
• Nicely hands-on
• Presenters
• Case study
• Interactive, step by step learning
• That it let us use the techniques
• Practical
• Goal Table
• The idea about identifying business value
• Very well structured
• Told with enthusiasm
• Good interaction
• Well-paced
• Business Value Model is a good tool

To improve

• Link to development could be stronger, focus now on operational business
• Link to Story Mapping? (Goals, Stakeholders)
• Add an artistic sensibilisation session :-)
• A bit more time on the example, especially the relations
• More time for asking questions
• The start of the exercise with lagging goals was unclear
• Timeframe: two hours would be better
• The time in the workshops was quite shoirt, so we had to rush a bit
• Maybe less material? Easier to assimilate
• Two different examples/cases:
• One for presentation
• One for exercises
• Make it easier to play with the goals. E.g. Write goals on pre-prepared cards
• More explanation of exercise in the start (several people did not understand the exercise)
• Some more real world examples - trade it for the creative exercise and group presentation at the end?
• Show more of real world examples (anonymised)
• I was lost at the beginning because I didn't understand why and when we should do this
• Uncertainty about instructions
• Re-phrase
• The explanations of the exercises could be crisper (more clear)
• Need more time to go fully through and to reflectr on the learning
• Take more time to build the goal table, instead of the creative stuff at the end. The goal table is IMHO more important
• Popular session = maximum number of people exceeded, so one person had to leave the room after first 5 mins. I felt sorry for him
• More vision on where to explore... What next?
• Let the team define the goals
• Maybe find a simpler case but more day-to-day life where goals are interconnected because we lost time understanding the technical specifications of the Phone-E industry
• More clear on information handouts (titles)
• Match slides to time
• Show how it ties in with delivering value and evaluating requirements
• Make it 30 minutes longer so there is more time in each of the steps of the exercise
• The assignments could be clearer
• More time for going into goals and measurements in respect to prioritisation
• How to link it to product backlog?
• Fruit instead of chocolates
