"Everyone is entitled to [their] own opinion, but not [their] own facts."

There are times when things aren't going as planned. The strategy is unclear. Stakeholders and team members disagree on some of the project basics. Sound familiar?

There are many ways to overcome this, and I've tried all of them. Sometimes, they've even worked.

But what I've found works best - for me - is this approach, which draws on Teresa Torres' Opportunity Solutions Tree, Assumption Mapping, Impact Mapping, and the 5 Whys.

In the end, I find this approach easier to explain to participants, so we can start using it faster.
