And yes, I mean work on the things the customer stated in the requirements elicitation sessions. In an order that gets to cash as quickly as possible while establishing a maintainable and sustainable base. As common sense as that is to someone passionate about this who has 20+ years of experience, it doesn't happen often enough in many businesses. This is more about helping existing organizations get to an actionable approach as it is creating brand new capabilities. Probably most of what is already being done on large team work will still be done - the cycle times, detail, and level of formality may change. Appropriate outcomes will dictate the appropriate implementation strategy. I look forward to your feedback as we build out this model. Glen,

Dennis,

WHAT, you mean work on things that the customers stated in the requirements elicitation sessions ;>)

It’ll be interesting to see how the small team aigle scales and what they have to bring along that is already being used in the large team work.
