                    • How things were working & the
                          problems

                    • How to change
                    • Pros and Cons
                    • What next?

                    •Every day
                          standup

                    •Every week
                          Stakeholder demo

                    • Interested in limited pairing
                    • Need to find the “Goldilocks Value”

Side Effects
                    • Weekly stakeholder demos retained
                    • Weekly retrospectives retained
                    • Team and Product Owner

Natural Evolution
                • Instead of holding weekly formal
                          retrospectives, retrospect and fix
                          problems as they happen.
