In my last post, I talked about the importance of a shared context, as a prerequisite for building consensus around a team’s priorities to move forward. I also reviewed some approaches to leading the team through developing this shared context. This shared context needs to include an understanding of:
- what we really do
- what we have
- what we lack
- our customers’ and stakeholders’ expectations of us
- how we’re perceived by them currently
- risks we face
- opportunities we have to be more than we are
