Notes
1. A Landing-Zone is analogous to a parachute”s Landing-Zone. A range that we realistically hope we can land in somewhere. This avoids the simplified notion of an exact Goal/Budget being the target.
2. For a set of Requirements, the overall Landing-Zone is the set of Landing-Zones, which “creates a space” over all the Requirement dimensions.
Attribute | Tolerable | Goal | Stretch |
---|---|---|---|
Price | >$27000 | $20000 | $17,500 |
Mileage (City) | < 18mpg | 25mpg | 35mpg |
Seating | < 4 adults | 5 adults | 6 adults |
Interior Noise at 65 mph | > 74dBA | 65dBA | 55dBA |
Projected 3-year Maintenance Cost | >$3000 | $2000 | $1500 |
3. The multi-dimensionality of Landing-Zones is an important Feature. The space below Goal may seem unacceptable, but when you consider all dimensions at once, sub-par achievement in a single dimension is completely acceptable, if it Means optimal System performance.
4. A Landing-Zone generally covers a Success-Range and an Tolerable-Range.
5. A Landing-Zone may be tailored in specific instances to any numeric range desired. It does not have to use the Generic Default option of being in the success and Tolerable-Ranges.
