This makes it difficult for developers, designers, scrum masters, and product owners to achieve a shared understanding and determine how best to reduce risk, generate learnings, and increase the chances of an innovation becoming sustainable. I will focus on techniques that help teams decompose tough problems, engage in critical thought, move faster, and increase the chances that their vision will successfully become a reality.
