The #Lightweight emphasis on delivering frequently comes from an era when delivering every 6-19 months was commonplace. Many of us don't live there any more.

Delivering frequently doesn't mean "Always Be Shipping New Features". It means practising delivery until you can do it in your sleep.

This is one way to generate options in order to enable a strategy that fits your business.

My favorite use of slack time is to mitigate a risk: to find an aspect of our current success that feels too contingent, and to take a step or two away from operating at the edge of our luck.
