Notes
1. Value is the potential consequence of System Attributes, for one or more Stakeholders.
2. Value is not linearly related to a System improvement: for example, a small change in an Attribute Level could Add immense perceived value for one group of Stakeholders for relatively low Cost.
3. Value is the perceived usefulness, worth, utility, or importance of a defined System Component or System state, for defined Stakeholders, under specified Conditions.
“One man”s meat is another man”s poison.” Old proverb
4. “Benefit” is when some perceived value is actually produced by, a defined System.
5. Value is relative to a Stakeholder: it is not absolute.
6. Product-Value, for example, is stated in terms of the objective Level of “how well” a System performs, irrespective of how this Level is appreciated by any Stakeholders. Some defined Levels of Product-Value only have a value to some Stakeholders. The same is true for all Attributes.
7. There are many Planguage ways of indicating that a Stakeholder values an Attribute. These include using Stakeholder, Authority, Impacts, and Source Parameters.
8. Value perception can related to any time, Past, present or future.
“Nowadays, people know the Cost of everything
and the value of nothing.”
Oscar Wilde.
