We’ll share real-world examples of how sequencing work this way makes the end of the project calm and peaceful, even when you can't ship incrementally. Whether you're a project manager seeking on-time delivery or an Agile advocate looking to make a difference, this episode offers practical insights to transform your project outcomes.

Key topics:

  • The pitfalls of traditional green-yellow-red status reporting
  • How to "earn green" by addressing complexity early
