Chapter 6
[ 147 ]
Even though they may have nothing to do with creating it, Scrum team members 
should be able to peer through the 1x lens so that they understand the reason why 
work has commenced, the big problem or business case that they're trying to solve. 
It amazes me to observe so many teams that don't get the big picture. This limits 
good decision making; teams with blinders on can't quite see where they're going 
and often don't make the right decisions. It's those little day-to-day decisions that 
lead up to the big solutions, so if the end state is unknown or questionable then 
the tasks to get there will be unknown or questionable as well. It's imperative that 
everyone "starts with the end in mind" as Stephen Covey once said. If your team is 
not sure of the vision statement, have your product owner stop by the team room 
and discuss it with a team and then write it on a big flip; if you have a distributed 
team, post the vision statement on the home page of the team's project wiki after a 
quick conference call. Make it front and center!
2x magnification – the product roadmap
Peering through the 2x lens, we see a bit more detail underneath each initiative. 
For example, we zoom in a little on the laptop project and see a roadmap that 
spans four quarters, with high-level themes for each quarter:
	Chapter 6: The Criticality of Real-time Information
	Through the Scrum microscope
