Case Study
Liberty Mutual
Three of the Scrum teams needed a replacement Scrum Master due to unforeseen medical circumstances. These teams were in the middle of a SAFe transformation with a culture of job-loss related fear.

Business executives were excited about the flexibility Agile development promised, but were not ready to give up certainty they felt they had with Waterfall metrics.

Normalized Capacity instead of Velocity
Regardless of the technique you use to apply a ‘cone of uncertainty’ approach to predictability, remember that velocity and story points are preliminary, and are intended to prevent teams from overcommitting to work, increasing the likelihood that they will achieve their goals.
