What we control in the effort should deploy outcomes that reflect where we expect
to find the project’s value as described in the project’s scorecard.

Topics and Objectives
• Strategic Thinking: Understanding stakeholder
perceptions about the project’s value
• Filters in the PVN: How will we organize the
stakeholders into segments having compatible
views about value?
• Constancy of Purpose: Understanding
comparative advantage as stable needs having
dynamic tolerances
• Stakeholder Schematics: Coordinating
comparative advantage as a horizontal chain
of value

Session Agenda
Stakeholder Perspective:
Identifying Needs for Requirement Definition
1. Perceptions of value lead to expectations
2. Compatibility of expectations as segmentation basis
3. Stable needs but dynamic expectations
4. Describing expectation as a tolerance

The Fundamental Challenge in Project Management:
Maximizing Project Value by Managing Satisfaction
“If I had to reduce my message for management to just a few words, I'd say it all
had to do with reducing variation”
—W. Edwards Deming
“The central problem of management in all its aspects...is to understand better the
meaning of variation, and to extract the information contained in variation.”
—Lloyd S. Nelson

What is your percentage of dissatisfied customers?
– Only 4 out of 100 dissatisfied customers complain!
– Each dissatisfied customer tells 8 to10 people about
his/her dissatisfaction
Market Impact?
– 1000 reported customer complaints are approximately
25,000 dissatisfied customers!
– 25,000 dissatisfied customers are expected to
communicate their dissatisfaction to approximately
225,000 people!

Creating Stakeholder Value
• Customers buy on value. Value as an advantage is
determined by comparing quality relative to price.
– Quality includes all the non-price attributes that count in the
purchase decision--both product and service.
– Value (price and quality) is not an absolute expectation. It leads
to expectations which can be expressed as tolerances relative to
stakeholders’ perceptions about what is possible.

Traditional QFD: Definition
QFD (Quality Function Deployment):
• Is a detailed system for translating the needs
and wishes of the consumer into design
requirements for products or services.
– Developed in Japan by Dr. Yoji Akao and Dr. Shigeru
Mizuno
– Purpose: assure customer satisfaction
– Primary concept: value
– Tools: 7 management & planning tools

QFD Advantages
QFD has fewer engineering changes and adjustments!

QFD Advantages
• Shorter development time (30% - 50%)
• Fewer engineering changes (25% - 50%)
• Reduced introduction costs
• Satisfaction of consumer needs and desires
• Improved product manufacturability
• Commonality of language
• Development of a ready reference for the future

QFD Goals
• Increase market share
• Design value into the product
• Translate subjective statements into objective
requirements

Stakeholder Management
To avoid goal changes and dissatisfied customers?
1. Plan and implement customer value by creating
output value
2. Apply QFD concepts at the project level
3. Manage customer satisfaction during the project
4. Manage the customer relationships

Simplified Need Identification: Definitions
Needs:
Necessity, a condition in which something necessary or desirable is
required or wanted; a requirement.
Expectations:
The condition of looking forward to something
Specifications:
A detailed description of design criteria for a piece of work
Requirements:
Something that is required; a necessity; A requirement is a singular
documented need of what a particular product or service should
be or do.
Functional requirements - Describe system features or things the
system must do.
Non-functional requirements - Describe properties the system must
have (e.g. performance, availability, accessibility).
Constraints - Limits the development in some way.

Simplified Need Identification: Need Definition
A need is:
• a condition requiring relief;
• anything that is necessary but lacking;
• necessitate: require as useful, just, or proper;
• a want: have need of …

Project QFD: Essential Chain
critical chain essential path
QFD is the theoretical foundation for project QFD:
– critical chain — best basis for managing schedule
– essential path — best basis for managing value
Delivering value to customers is the prime directive for project
managers of product development projects
