Summary
An Agile coach reflects, formulates and then re-iterates three basic assumptions as to why agile teams prioritize as they do: 1) People give it their best in every project; 2) there is always more work to do than people have the capacity to do; and 3) people do not initially know what works best unless they try. They are not new or novel but Marcus Hammarberg has found that re-iterating them before starting discussions about prioritization makes the conversation more focused on the work and how to make the best use of our scarce capacity.
Takeaways
- In every aspect, people give it their best
- There’s always more work to do than we have the capacity to do
