This was one of my biggest issues with a team I used to work on; they prided themselves on "doing what we said we would do" but just could not grasp how rigid and impossible to work with that becomes when an adjustment is needed.
What you said you would do is based on old information!
- fisf 4y agoThe concrete problem here depends on when and how often adjustments are needed. If adjustments are needed every week, then the root problem lies deeper.
- someweirdperson 4y agoThe trick is to work on the things that won't need adjustments first, and delay the rest until information is more stable.
