In Agile practices, large and complex projects can quickly become overwhelming. Without breaking them into manageable, bite-sized tasks, individuals and teams risk losing focus, motivation, and momentum. But when we simplify and provide clarity, ensuring everyone can “see the rabbit,” it sharpens focus, eliminates distractions, and creates alignment. Clarity fosters accountability and provides a clear path to success.
Transparency ensures that everyone stays informed, enabling swift adaptation when circumstances change. Together, these principles create a high-performing environment where continuous progress is not only possible but inevitable.
In short, in Agile, clarity and transparency aren’t just buzzwords—they are essential tools for delivering consistent results and achieving success. So, next time you or your team is faced with a daunting project, remember to break it down, simplify, and “let the dog see the rabbit.” This mindset will keep you focused and on track toward your goals.
Key Takeaways:
Clarity and Transparency: The foundation of success in Agile.
Break Down Tasks: Simplify complex projects for improved focus and momentum.
Stay Adaptable: Transparency enables teams to pivot when needed.
By incorporating these Agile principles into your personal or professional journey, you'll improve productivity, enhance team collaboration, and make consistent progress toward your goals.
A huge thank you to my amazing wife Lauren Kinsey-Briggs for the inspiration! Recently, we found ourselves faced with an overwhelming number of tasks and a daunting to-do list around the house. But by embracing the saying, “Let the dog see the rabbit,” we tackled it head-on.
We spent time creating a good old-fashioned list (our backlog), then prioritised together—garden and gym took the top spots! The hardest part was simply getting started, but once we did, everything felt more manageable. With our list in hand, we no longer felt overwhelmed and approached each task with clarity and focus.
Sometimes, all it takes is breaking things down, setting priorities, and making a start to regain control.
