i have always disliked agile's attitude that you flip the iron triangle. Writing something on that. Consider the iron triangle with the word "risk" in the middle. You affect time using flow. You address scope via MBIs and you address cost with Lean. 1/2

you drive from value by focusing on what you can deliver quickly. Doing this by limiting time is not the best way. Focusing on most important value to deliver first is. 2/2

Agile with iterations requires you to flip the iron triangle. Flow lean and toc can dissolve it while lowering risk

We should not be fixing time&dollars as we do in iterations but fixing incremental value. Use MBIs &mvps. That we don’t do this Is why execs force so much on teams. They don’t see the teams’ focus on value. We are using 2decade old thinking regarding this. Agile is not evolving

Iron triangle=>flipped agile triangle=> lean flow toc circle. Focusing on scope with MBIs reduces work which reduces delay which reduces cost. We don’t build incrementally as defined by time but incrementally as defined by value
