- That velocity is a forecasting tool for future sprints, not a performance metric for comparing different teams.

- How to interpret a Cumulative Flow Diagram (CFD) to identify workflow bottlenecks by observing the widening bands of specific stages.

- The role of Information Radiators as visible displays that promote transparency and real-time communication within and outside the team.

- The conceptual application of Earned Value Management (EVM) in an agile context, focusing on the value of completed features rather than traditional baselines.
