Product Ownership and Shared Understanding
summary
A one‑minute exercise with 20 volunteers produces five drawings of a “beautiful summer meadow,” the winner (the flying cow team) getting about 55% of votes, another about 30% and one only ~2%, showing how open versus detailed instructions diverge without conversation. The talk argues for card conversation confirmation, warns against treating Jira tickets as specs, and shows a cross‑functional team moving into a shop and built an iPad app in a week by testing with real customers; co‑locate teams and measure idea‑to‑deploy time.
