## Definition of Cost of Delay Framework The Cost of Delay framework is a methodology for assessing the financial impact of delaying the release of a product or feature often used as part of [[Agile Framework]] to help product managers prioritize tasks and make informed decisions about when to release new features or products. It considers the potential [[revenue]] or cost savings that could be generated if the product or feature were released sooner, as well as the potential losses that could occur if it is delayed. By understanding the financial impact of delays, product managers can better allocate resources and establish realistic timelines for [[product development]] and release.
