Shaped by demand: The power of fluid teams
summary
Claims a concrete alternative: quarterly Demand-Led Planning where 20–200 people re-team around all demand, not just features, and allocate discretionary spend to delivery discovery and kaizen. Teams size limits 3–10, a 3x3 rule limits bumblebees to three teams, and teams must be fully autonomous (skills authority resources to avoid blocking). Sessions produce big hairy goals, planning time drops from days to a half day with practice, scaled to 200 people at one org, and Likert surveys show higher engagement.
