Real Options

We live in a world of "getting to yes" or "a positive no"
Yet the world is no black & white.
I live in a world of options. I like to say yes to all the options and only decide about an option at the last responsible moment. In this talk we will teach you to do the same.

Real options is one of these agile tidbits that is applicable to all aspects of life.
1) a real option has a value
2) a real option expires
3) a real option has a cost

In this talk we will give you examples that will teach you how to apply real options to your life and projects.
