                    •Every day
                          standup

                    •Every week
                          Stakeholder demo

                    • Interested in limited pairing
                    • Need to find the ā€œGoldilocks Valueā€

Side Effects
                    • Weekly stakeholder demos retained
                    • Weekly retrospectives retained
                    • Team and Product Owner
                          conversations happened naturally &
                          frequently

                    • Confusion over how to explain to
                          external Gantt chart fetishists...

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