Went to the Dynamic Development Zone as suggested by Doug. Fell asleep due to the lack of valuable content. I find the chart above to be pretty consistent with my 10+ years of experience in this area. Interesting to see this exercise again, and it’s also interesting that this topic is discussed so often. We all need to continue to refine the roles and expectations.

I just discovered some evidence for my insight. It is called the Zeigarnik Effect. We can’t stop thinking about things that are not done. More thinking interrupts whatever else we are doing, causing anxiety. A vicious cycle results. We stop thinking about tasks once they are completed.

Hi Roger,
Great article! I agree that the ‘best’ should always be evolving by the very nature of Agile or Scrum and if we are truly practising kaizen.
thanks..

Good point, and glad you had the class come up with their own answers (and fun way to capture it with the virtual stickies).

Waterfall is Scrum in a jug! You don’t need PMI training to be a manager, master or owner…you need skills.
