Money

Money is one of the three pillars of value in TRM, and the most straightforward. A fuller write-up is still to come. Until then, here is what the rest of this section says about it.

• Measure it one way. In an analysis, put every money value in the same unit, for example US dollars per month. See Create your first TRM analysis.
• Rough sizes work too. T-shirt sizes are fine when you don’t have figures. The more specific you are, the better the comparison.
• Track it against a target. When cutting vendor spend was our focus, we tracked savings month by month against the target. See the Platform Engineering/IT case study.
