Many projects fail before they have even begun.
You're part of a team, and the scope arrives. You're expected to deliver on that scope as though it's an immovable object.
"Deliver the features on the spec!"
You might be a Scrum Master, Product Manager, Project Manager—anyone dealing with the consequences.
But how can you be expected to deliver features based on a spec when you don't know what's coming down the line?
For example, what if you deliver part of it, show it to the customer, and they actually wanted something different?
What if there are hidden complexities in implementing those features that only become apparent once you start working?
So many "What ifs."
All because we locked in the requirements and specific features upfront.
So what's the alternative?
Delivering on the outcomes desired not the specific features.
This approach gives us the flexibility to deliver value to the customer or client without committing ourselves to a death march of delivering everything promised upfront.
