When to Use This Skill

• Product planning to replace endless backlogs
• Feature development with clear time boundaries
• Team autonomy when you want self-directed teams
• Scope management when projects tend to balloon
• Startup development with limited resources
• Agency/consulting projects with fixed timelines
