Managing persistent resistance

By the start of the fourth iteration, a natural rhythm has been established. Jane, you, and the team know exactly what to expect from one another. The team is running hard, but the pace is sustainable. You are confident that the team can keep up this pace for a year or more. The number of surprises in the schedule diminishes to near zero; however,

we try to minimize dependencies between teams. Notice that I said “minimize” and not “eliminate.”

our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of value.

However, they don’t try to identify all features. As the project proceeds, the customers will continue to discover more features. The flow of features will not shut off until the project

What to work on is, generally, given to the team through the prioritization of initiatives in the LVT and the backlog. The team, which should include a product person, collaboratively prioritizes what it will work on during the next iteration to

Risks are tackled up front, rather than at the end. In modern teams, we tackle these risks prior to deciding to build anything. These risks include value risk (whether customers will buy it), usability risk (whether users can figure out how to use it), feasibility risk (whether our engineers can build what we need with the time, skills, and
