Claim: half the job is communication not coding and getting a high‑performance team requires concrete steps not platitudes. Teams start with a two‑day kickstarter using Team Canvas, screen for skill and trust (prefer a high performer high trust plus a medium performer high trust and avoid high performer low trust), run event‑storming, refine together with example mapping so examples become living tests (Cucumber/SpecFlow as collaboration), and measure progress with Goal‑Question‑Metric / evidence‑based management.
