A delayed project doesn’t just affect your calendar. It affects your bottom line. Time lost in back-and-forth, unclear next steps, or misaligned expectations can quickly turn into lost revenue, and the longer it goes, the harder it is to recover. Only 35% of organizations say they usually finish projects on time. That means most teams spend extra time, money, and energy fixing problems that could have been avoided.

As a social technology, Scrum has remained steadfast in its ethos for over 32 years, enabling teams to generate value through adaptive solutions to complex problems. Yet, a subtle distinction in its guidance often trips up practitioners - Scrum explicitly mandates a Done Increment but implicitly mandates Delivery. This distinction, though subtle, holds profound implications in a modern context where DevOps has reshaped the landscape of software delivery.

Every time a project stalls because someone isn’t sure what to do next, it costs more than time. It breaks focus, causes rework, and slows momentum. You might notice tasks getting missed, constant questions about next steps, or tools that feel more frustrating than helpful. That’s often a sign you designed your systems for a smaller version of your company, and now they’re in the way.

Un diagrama de red de proyectos ayuda a los gestores a simplificar un plan de proyecto complejo, permitiéndoles visualizar la red del proyecto.
