In the realm of business, the term “ governance ” conjures images of stale bureaucracy, mundane meetings, and rigid roles. However, such perceptions fail to capture the potential impact of governance to influence the actions, cognitions, and emotions of individuals.

In Part 1 , I suggested that the team can use cycle time, but even with cycle time, we need to beware of predicting anything that far off. I used the example of my lunch: I know I will eat lunch.
