The author introduces an activity designed to help teams evaluate and discuss the “shape” of an initiative, aiming to kickstart meaningful conversations. This exercise is a response to a subscriber’s request for actionable insights rather than theoretical content. The activity involves several steps: selecting an initiative, establishing ground rules for no judgment, and having participants answer specific questions independently before comparing their insights. The goal is to identify discrepancies and areas needing further exploration. Participants will consider various aspects of the initiative, including how many teams should be involved, the expected duration of the project, how value is generated over time, and where uncertainties lie. They’ll also assess the initiative's sensitivity to delays and the best approach for discovery. The questions range from evaluating the environment’s constraints to understanding decision-making authority. This structured method aims to clarify team alignment and highlight necessary areas for additional research or discussion. The author requests feedback on the activity through a survey, emphasizing the importance of refining these questions for better outcomes. The insights gained will eventually be integrated into the Prioritizer app, showing the author's commitment to improving team dynamics and project clarity based on real user experiences.
