When will it be done?

This might be the most asked question in software development. Yet, in most organizations, the answer seems incredibly difficult to provide.

Joakim once helped a department with five development teams to find a better way to answer this question and increase the amount of work they delivered on time from 0% to 83%.

How on earth did he manage that?
Well, all we can say about it at this time is that:

the solution was surprisingly simple to implement.
at the same time, it was astonishingly difficult for the organization to accept.
the explanation involves a metaphor of traffic on a road and—we hope, since otherwise this webinar is very weirdly titled—an elephant.
he will, of course, explain everything in this webinar.
if you're nice he might even answer a few questions afterwards.

In this session we explore and discuss predictable uncertainty in complex environments based on a road metaphor and the common phenomenon of traffic congestion. And find out how seemingly simple solutions can have an enormous impact.

First public delivery of this session as a webinar in early March 2025.
