“I still don’t see how it reduces time,” said Max.

“It does, when compared to the option of doing it ourselves,” retorted Mary.

“Wait a second guys,” said Jack. “What if I reword the pros to read ‘Reduced implementation time compared to in-house option’ and ‘reduced cost compared to external option’?”

He looked at Mary and Max. Both seemed to OK with this, so he typed in the changes.

Figure 8.11: Clarified arguments supporting a potential answer to the root question

Jack asked, “So, are there any other issues, ideas or arguments that anyone would like to add?”

“From what’s on the map, it seems that co-development is the best option,” said Andrew. He looked around to see what the others thought: Rick and Mary were nodding but Max still looked doubtful.

Max asked, “How are we going to figure out who does what? It isn’t easy to partition work cleanly when teams have different levels of expertise.”

Jack realised that although Max asked a question, it was the contextual argument about the difficulty to partition work that was the key point. Accordingly, Jack left the question off and typed in “Hard to work between teams that have different levels of expertise” as a con to the “Co-develop” idea.
