Click on the icons on the arrows to see assumptions and injections
C: have a team with agile spirit
D': not engage the team member
In order to deliver value to company I must have a team with high velocity and in order to have a team with high velocity I must engage the new team member. But, in order to deliver value to company I must also have a team with agile spirit and in order to have a team with agile spirit I must not engage the team member. I can't both engage the new team member and not engage the team member.
| Relation | Assumption(s) | Injection(s) |
| B-D | only members of the team can participate in team effort more team members yield to higher velocity | let the team member participate in team project without being part of the team the team member "steals" from us a lot of time because of its character & skills |
| C-D' | this team member is not agile a bad team member can have a bad effect on the whole team firing the new team member after the trial period will have bad consequences on team morale | the team is stronger that what it seems this team member was not agile on his old team but will be agile on the new team not all the team members must have agile spirit |
| A-B | high velocity means many projects completed | high velocity doesn't necessarily yield value |
| A-C | agile spirit is a key success factor for delivering quality on time | team might be able to deliver value without an agile spirit |
