Year one: "You're hired! Now, I need you to spin up an Agile team and deliver some new products in the next couple months. Nobody on your team has done Agile or Scrum before. UX, what's that? User research is here and there. We haven't brought a new product to market without an acquisition in years, not to mention stood up a new external application. And no idea how to navigate legacy systems for accounts, content, and usage tracking."

Year two: "Great job last year. Now we are officially investing in Agile and Digital transformations across the entire company. We'll be migrating all teams to new enterprise tools. Everything your squad figured out last year may change. But we still need you to deliver some new products in the next couple months, while maintaining and building upon what you delivered to market last year."

Let me tell you a story... And don't worry, it all worked out, and it can for you and your team too.
