It is exactly the opposite with the <a href=\"http:\/\/p4dev.hardscrum.com\/workingteam\/\">Working Teams<\/a>: They have the best understanding of implementation costs from all those involved in product development, but cannot estimate the market value as well. Therefore, in the <a href=\"http:\/\/p4dev.hardscrum.com\/about\/\">P4 framework<\/a>, added value and effort are estimated separately and shown in the upswing gravity field.
