Scenario

When teams avoid difficult prioritization conversations

Our startup team has this pattern where we all get excited about new features in our weekly meetings but then nothing actually gets built because we never want to be the person who says no to someone else's idea. We have seventeen things in our backlog marked as 'high priority' and I'm starting to think we're all just being polite to death.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is choosing false harmony over the productive conflict necessary to make real decisions.
