 "Striking the right balance between factors, i.e. relevance vs frequency" is similar to MURI principle in the lean pillars of Toyota Way.

MURI principle is an inspirational approach for TIGO WAY.


Quality vs Grade

Quality
Grade
Safety Zone
(45% - 55%)
Quality is the degree to which the product meets the customer or end-user requirements whereas grade is a category assigned to products that have the same functional use but different technical characteristics. High grades do not imply high quality.

Functional vs Non-functional

Functional requirements
Non-functional requirements
Safety Zone
(45% - 55%)
The difference is that non-functional requirements describe how the system works, while functional requirements describe what the system should do. ... Some typical non-functional requirements are: Performance - for example Response Time, Throughput, Utilization, Static Volumetric, Scalability.

Relevance vs Frequency

Relevance
Frequency
Safety Zone
(45% - 55%)
Strike the right balance between relevance and frequency
  • High frequency (i.e. > 80%): Useless product (less added value).
  • High relevance but less frequency: High development cost, longer training time, high cost of maintenance etc.

Automation vs Personalization

Automation
Personalization
Safety Zone
(45% - 55%)
By default, automation results in a loss of personalization. Automation means you're working with scripted responses to resonate with individuals.

Below are tips to balance Marketing Automation and Personalization:
  • Offer Timely, Valuable Content. Email campaigns are an effective, low-cost way to leverage automation and personalization
  • Respect Consumer Privacy
  • Enhance the Customer Experience and increase Customer Retention
  • Combine Automation and Human Touch

Time and Budget vs Features

Time and Budget
Features
Safety Zone
(45% - 55%)
Time and Budget are all in one side againsts the features.

  • If features are excessive, much beyond the budget and time, projects are doomed to fail, or unable to meet the deadline.
  • If features are too few, or you're building the core features just like a framework, MVP-based product instead of a working product, then it's far to get a new system up and running. If features volume is not sufficient to make a turning point, you can't make a good integration of modules. In other words, the integration is weak. The second problem is that, both development team and stakeholders have no incentive or ball bearings to flat out or shine in their works. Think about "cram studying". Without cram studying, you won't be able to integrate their discrete knowledge. You have to raise the bar in order to reach the peak. Likewise, your product should be state-of-the-art instead of a generic product.

[Software Testing] Accuracy vs Precision

Accuracy
Precision
Safety Zone
(45% - 55%)
  • The Precision refers to how well measurements agree with each other in multiple tests.
  • The accuracy of a measurement is how close a result comes to the true value.

Upgradation vs Developing New Features

Upgradation
Developing New Features
Safety Zone
(70% - 80%)
  • The Upgradation refers to the action or process of raising something to a higher standard, grade, or rank.
  • A new feature is an addition to an existing system. The scope of new feature work varies significantly. It may be as simple as adding a new field or button to a form, or require extensive modification to a system to add significant new capabilities

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • "Balanced trade-off" is one of our important tools for business analytics and consulting.
  • When defining scope, try to look at different angles and use the optimum solution.
  • Added values is crucial, but the right time for implementation is much more important.
