==== LG 3-1: Economic dimensions

* Explain costs and value as linked concepts.
* Name and classify different kinds of economic dimensions, such as:
** Direct costs, education costs, capital expenditures (direct and indirect cost of investment), operating expenditures, opportunity cost, and cost of delay
** Investment and operating expenses (OPEX), Run-the-Company (RTC), and Develop-the-Company (DTC)
** ROI, break-even, depreciation, and amortization
** One-time and reoccurring costs, known and estimated costs.
* Explain differences and connections between costs and value.
* Know and use various economic dimensions to find the sweet spot for motivating improvements, such as:
** Differentiate between direct and indirect costs of investments, such as development costs and operating expenditures versus training costs, context switching costs, and cost of delay for more realistic estimations.
** Distinguish long-term investments in assets (CAPEX) from ongoing operating expenses for daily operations (OPEX) for greater cost flexibility.
** Utilize already approved budgets for strategic initiatives to align and connect improvement efforts with these priorities.
** Leverage different types of IT budgets, such as 'Plan - Build - Run,' to motivate appropriate improvements.
** Understand basic argumentation lines using economic concepts like ROI, break-even analysis, depreciation, and amortization.
** Find appropriate ways to allocate problem and improvement costs based on cost drivers (internal and external).
** Identify potential costs associated with risks and technical debt, including impacts on project timelines and possible damage to the company's reputation.

==== LG 3-2: Basic terms of evaluation and estimation

* Explain the terms “estimation”, “observation”, and “measurement” and apply them to the evaluation of problems and solution approaches.
* Be able to estimate efforts in intervals. Know different approaches for interval estimates:
* Be able to estimate efforts in intervals and understand different approaches for interval estimates, including:
** Confidence interval,
** Minimum/maximum interval,
** Worst-/Average-/Best-Case estimation.
* Be able to assess and communicate the probability of the correctness of the estimation.
* Identify and name items to be estimated, e.g., hours of work.
* Identify parameters and influencing factors of estimations
* explicit assumption to be able to define estimation parameters in value ranges.
* Identify and specify appropriate dimensions for estimation, such as hours of work or full-time equivalents (FTE)

==== LG 3-3: Estimate for problems and solution approaches

Apply estimation techniques to problems and solution approaches of IT systems and related processes.
Apply estimation techniques to problems and solution approaches for IT systems and related processes.

* Identify parameters and influencing factors of costs estimations
* Obtain a comprehensive view of the cost structure of problems and solutions
* Explicitly state assumptions to define estimation parameters within value ranges
* Conduct a gap analysis between existing and future needs (e.g., business and quality requirements) to estimate the costs of measures needed to close existing gaps
* Derive concrete, measurable actions to achieve strategic goals
* Assess and communicate the validity of estimations
