Cost of Delay SAVED.

Cost of delay (CoD) is a key metric in lean management that represents the economic impact of a delay in project delivery. To calculate potential costs of delay, you need to anticipate the revenue that you will earn per week after you deliver anything to the market. CD3 Score represents cost of delay divided by duration.
