Are organizations seeing the benefits they seek? It is interesting that Team Morale isnt an important consideration for choosing Agile, yet the 10 year average shows it increases substantially.

We dont need to embrace uncertainty, we need to figure out how to reduce it.Me. (unless someone more famous already said it.)
@jasonlittle | atmtl2016 | sli.do #2617
Common thread is uncertainty. our brains crave it, some more than others but instead of embracing uncertainty, we an focus on reducing it
