Sneaking agility back into Agile
summary
Agile teams get three concrete tactics: Time Machine (a 30–40 minute premortem to surface hidden hopes and fears and prioritise what to test first), pivot triggers (explicit conditions like “on Nov 15 pivot if <10 RSVPs” that saved two months by killing a Calendly integration that zero customers wanted, and accelerated work when a Google Sheets dashboard hit 20/32 opens), and Anatomy of an Insight (separate signals, stories, options to generate alternatives). The Innovation Tactics deck lists 54 such cards.
