VDD Compared
VDD does not tell you how to organize your team. It defines what a unit of delivered work is, what it costs, when it counts as done, and when it will be finished. Here is how that relates to the methods teams use today.VDD does not tell you how to organize your team.

DIFFERENT LAYER
VDD vs Story Points
Story Points are relative to one team and were never meant to price work. VDD counts Delivery Bricks against fixed definitions and prices them from your own history.
DIFFERENT INCENTIVE
VDD vs Time & Materials
Hourly billing pays for effort, and AI shrinks effort. VDD pays for verified Units, so a faster team is not a poorer team.
SHARED LINEAGE
VDD vs Function Points
Function Points measure functional size. VDD keeps the idea of counted size and adds verification, category rates calibrated on your history, and P50/P85 dates.
DIFFERENT LAYER
VDD vs Agentic Delivery Frameworks
Agentic frameworks reorganize the team around AI agents. VDD prices, accepts, and forecasts what that team delivers. Use them together.
