Roadmaps ahead can be deceiving… Trust is built on your ability to tell the story of the journey behind you. Knowing how we got here is powerful! It sets the stage for making the right-next-best-step decisions together. It’s a trust builder like no other in this business. It’s proof that doing what we said we were going to do matters.

How do we even know what the-right-next-best thing to do even is? The most feel-good answer that comes to mind is to just pull from the top of the backlog…But I find this to be short sighted. A lot can change within a sprint or two. As much as it stirs the dust into the air, and no one likes to feel a change in direction, I like to step back and look at more sides and angles.
