To what extent are your team's priorities clear, so that it's obvious what matters most and work can flow without hesitation?
The team lacks alignment on priorities, resulting in work being chosen reactively based on urgency, noise, or the loudest voice
The team is aligned on top priorities, and all members can consistently describe what matters most
The team has a single, visible source of truth (e.g., roadmap, goals, backlog) that informs planning and guides decision-making across the team
The team confidently focuses on what matters most, saying "no" to distractions, and ensuring that backlog items and daily tasks reflect stated priorities
Priorities are aligned and transparent; teams consistently deliver value smoothly and without friction
