  • It even primes your body and brain to release energy and be more focused (yes, it’s true!)
  • Adds to team transparency
  • It helps relieve procrastination like regular calendaring, but also helps to not fall into perfectionism which can make projects fall behind
  • Have more accurate time estimates which help inform your overall business strategy
  • Be more flexible and adaptive
  • You’ll work faster, and because of that, you’ll evolve faster, and your team improves and learns faster
  • Faster release cycles tied to incremental improvements, and greater efficiency
