When it comes to scope & slicing we have teams who:

1. ... only work big. Large, prescriptive projects with no incremental value delivery, no experimentation, and infrequent integration.
2. ... only work small . They sprint in circles. The work lacks coherence and feels scattershot. Lots of reactive work.
3. ... define big & work small . Large, prescriptive projects get broken into many small pieces . The team works small and integrates frequently, which reduces risk and accentuates progress. But there is little room to respond to learning and feedback.
4. ... think big & work small . The team rallies behind a compelling mission linked to a coherent strategy. The mission is outcome/impact oriented. The team contemplates a vision for the holistic experience but works with broad strokes.
