Using Business Value Points (BVP) for User Stories to help define scope, help prioritize and make planning smoother.

BVP can use the same framework as Story Points (i.e. a modified Fibonacci Sequence).

For example:

BVP 13 - Will provide a definite and significant tangible ROI (increase revenue, transactions, generate repeat customers) or is a Compliance Item which will result in Penalties if not done (Loss of Revenue)

BVP 8 -  Will provide some ROI (either a small - medium or is purely speculative)

BVP 5 - Is Necessary Cost of Doing Business but no Significant ROI

BVP 3 - Definitely will Delight the Customer but Low ROI

BVP 1  - Nice to Have; May Delight the Customer but Little to No ROI
