Many VE professionals have contributed to the NYC VE Program over its history. The NYC government environment has been a de facto laboratory setting for testing out various styles and approaches. This presentation will focus on lesson learned over nearly twenty years in Value Engineering (VE). It will cover specific problems encountered and solved, sometimes through trial and error. It will summarize the key elements which have worked best, and those which have been problematic. It will describe examples of pitfalls and missteps which have arisen in the course of conducting hundreds of VE workshops, and how NYC ultimately worked out a preferred approach for dealing with them.

Elements to be discussed include the VE Job Plan, Team Management, Study Focus Areas, Documentation, and Presentation
