The Earned Business Value chart shows what proportion of the anticipated business value has been delivered to date. It indicates whether we have achieved the goals of the project well enough to declare victory and move on. It also indicates whether it is worth the cost to continue developing the remaining features. It also shows whether we are focusing on the highest-value features of the solution. It tracks the relative amount of planned business value that has been delivered to date. It provides a mechanism to monitor business value delivery when there's no comprehensive up-front plan.
