What is Quantify Opportunity?  Process  Agree with the team the key X’s  Identify which the team can control  Share how much the team can control Y  Share the Vision of how much the team will manipulate the key X’s to control Y  Finalize with the Champion the Charter – goal, team, budget benefits, schedule.  Process  Agree with the team the key X’s  Identify which the team can control  Share how much the team can control Y  Share the Vision of how much the team will manipulate the key X’s to control Y  Finalize with the Champion the Charter – goal, team, budget benefits, schedule.

SCN : Standard, Control, Noise  Of the causes Quantified and Verified we now categorize them into S,C,N - standard, control or noise.  The purpose is to agree to focus on which X’s can be changed and how much Y can be changed  Of the causes Quantified and Verified we now categorize them into S,C,N - standard, control or noise.  The purpose is to agree to focus on which X’s can be changed and how much Y can be changed

SCN – Definitions  Standard will not significantly change during project  Control may change during project and the team can choose its level  Noise everything else

SCN – Definitions ‘…give me the courage to change the things I can change, the patience to accept the things I can’t change, and the wisdom to know the difference…’

SCN Relation to SIPOC  You would expect to find in SIPOC’s input column the X’s that contribute the largest effects on Y  Further the Control types are typically those Inputs for whom the Supplier is a member of your project team  Clearly the presence of suppliers of key inputs on your team will increase the scope of your control  You would expect to find in SIPOC’s input column the X’s that contribute the largest effects on Y  Further the Control types are typically those Inputs for whom the Supplier is a member of your project team  Clearly the presence of suppliers of key inputs on your team will increase the scope of your control
