We worked on a project with our team and met our goal!
Except, management isn't happy - they expected something else.
Seeing if we have alignment on goals is easy if we gather the team and stakeholders for 10 minutes and use a continuum.
There are certain categories that goals will fall within. A continuum is a way we can list those categories, get alignment, and gain an understanding of how 'big' of a project this is going to be. We get clarity on our goals.
Is it hard? Not at all. Is it eye-opening? Sometimes. It can help us move forward with a discussion to help ensure we're all successful.
