Breakthrough Moments
When it comes to the success of a product or business, there's a simple action that agile teams never overlook, and that burnt-out teams often neglect.
Wondering what this is? Read on…
Thriving agile teams actively question their products, programs, or portfolios, always being curious on the problems they solve
In contrast, teams on the brink of burnout are forced to churn out successful features, work-streams, or initiatives relentlessly.
While delivering features that people actually use is vital (in line with the Agile Manifesto), what's even more critical is re-evaluating the problems these features are supposed to solve.
It's straightforward, yet challenging:
Thriving agile teams continually reassess their scope.
This approach doesn't just lead to better outcomes—it also generates momentum and fosters innovative solutions, optimising both budget and resources.
In my experience more than 30% of my venture or corporate assignments required frequent re-evaluating of problems and opportunities based on continuous learnings and adaptive strategies
Imagine you share the same experience in a billion-dollar business; and to play it safe only 5% of your portfolio is actually solving the wrong problems.
There would be $50 million worth of ressources that could be reframed.
What functional initiatives could you achieve with this extra budget?
Change to a $100 million scale-up with the same assumptions.
There would be $5 million that could be reframed.
What opportunities could you explore with this extra funding?
So, don’t let the pressure of work push you to the edge of the frame. Take a moment to step back, reassess, and give you and your teams the opportunity to think strategically and reframe the scope.
Your breakthrough moment could be just one insightful reframe away.
