While some projects might have an end of year deadline, in my experience, most projects finish when they finish. So there’s every chance that your projects, like mine, will run through the holiday period. We do need to recharge, rest and reset, and so do the people on the team.

Product development is complex. Many organisations are relatively weak at predictive decision-making in such unpredictable environments. Traditional predictive/plan-based approaches exist in organisations, even those using Scrum. Many organisations believe they know what their customers want.

Effective cross-functional collaboration and communication heavily influence product launch success. Research shows that as many as 70% of product launches fail due to inadequate coordination among stakeholders, including supply chain, product management, legal, marketing, and change control teams (Gartner, 2022).
