How to measure value? CD3!

Optimise project scheduling using CD3 - Cost of Delay, Divided by Duration
(a.k.a. WSJF - Weighted Shortest Job First)

Release-planning, sprint-planning, task-scheduling - all require a metric to prioritise between mutiple activities. A simple strategy like higher-business-values-tasks-first does NOT guarantee the most optimal schedule for a team/organisation.

Cost of Delay, Divided by Duration i.e. CD3 is a metric that:
- is easy to understand,
- simple to calculate,
- enables a more effective strategy.
