Exactly my thoughts, Dr Nia. How many CEOs have the advantage of working in Agile in at least one full project? It would probably effect their thinking ever after.
I do think a hard balance is deciding about adjusting too quickly. In the sports example it could be the case the other NBA team is shooting really well and the trailing team is below their mean. Over the course of the game, it corrects and they end up winning. It can be easy to overcorrect and do so too quickly, it needs to be pre-decided in the project plan of when it is appropriate to review based on feedback cycles and data.
