Agile India 2017 - Kent McDonald
summary
Argues that teams must prioritize outcome over output and measure progress by how close work gets to a specific objective rather than by story points. Offers a concrete workshop: everyone writes four post‑its for a problem statement — who is affected, the impact, conditions of success — then groups them to reveal misalignment and converge on a single definition. Adds decision filters as lightweight guardrails to enable distributed decisions. Practices are simple, repeatable, and meant to stop fast work in the wrong direction.
