Many times, as a Lean Inception<\/a> facilitator, you will have to handle such conversations. And there are many great reasons for each of these terms<\/strong>. A few: here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The other day I was not running a full Lean Inception. Therefore, I did not have the typical five days<\/a>, and time to have further conversations. But I still needed to align the group of people on the work items composing that thing (MVP, MLP, MMP, MTP, First Release etc).<\/p>\n

So, I had two options: (1) discuss about that thing and align the term to be used; or (2) avoid term conversation and align about the items composing the thing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I opted for option (2) and it worked really well. Please find the end result below (obfuscated for confidentiality).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note the diagrams on the right side of the image. Instead of using a term (such as MVP), I used the word \u201cstar\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started the activity by talking about the \u201cstar\u201d. The image helped with that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want that thin slice, that thing in the intersection. Let\u00b4s decide the order in which we should work, and then let\u00b4s be very clear about where is the star<\/strong> for us.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then, on the sequencer activity<\/a>, I started by asking the group to place the items in the order in which the team should work on them. Once the items were on the sequencer, then I asked: Where is the star?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That worked really well. The team reached an initial alignment and is in better place to go for the next activities and workshops (further detail and planning about the star and whatever comes after it).<\/p>\n
