Execution Notes
Short, direct notes on why teams miss commitments, what process theatre actually costs, and how small engineering teams can ship more predictably — without more process.
Teams that run long planning meetings don't have a planning problem. They have a visibility problem. The meeting exists to compensate for what the team can't see between sprints.
Read note →Sprint failure isn't random. The signals are always there early — most teams just don't know what to look for, or look too late.
Read note →A backlog with 400 items isn't evidence of ambition. It's evidence of deferred decisions. The clutter isn't the problem — it's the symptom.
Read note →Most missed sprints aren't caused by bad engineers or bad luck. They're caused by the same three things, repeated sprint after sprint. And all three are visible before the sprint locks.
