Have you ever looked at your project and asked yourself, "Why am I doing this?" or "How can I do this better?" Those are two big questions for any project manager. To get the right answers, you first must ask another question: What is the function I must perform? Function-inspired change is at the heart of value methodology, which can enable project managers to better understand their client's value objectives, meet schedules and stay within budgets. Value methodology also allows project teams to remain agile and to "take the chance out of change" by ensuring that every decision made throughout the project life cycle ties back to the basic functions the project must perform.
