A word about

6. So what’s the solution?

X It's hard to predict the overhead of problems

7. Weekly engagements1
Hanno's iteration approach
2 Flexible scope
3 100% commitment

8. How this usually works
We create a bare-bones
prototype of what we
have in mind
Product gets better with each round of iteration
Adapt to the
project's needs
during the sprint
Improve our results
through iteration

9. No need to come up
with the ultimate solution
on first attempt
Product gets better with each round of iteration
We can flexibly
adapt to the
dynamic scope of
each project
Avoid big reveal
Benefits of this approach
