In an agile environment, it is crucial for the project leader to empower the team. This involves encouraging the team to continuously improve their processes, tools, and interactions to enhance their effectiveness in delivery and in removing impediments1. By doing so, the team can self-organize and find the most efficient ways to overcome challenges, leading to better quality and feature completion within sprints2. Fast-tracking all product features without addressing the underlying issues can lead to burnout and reduced quality, which is counterproductive to the agile philosophy of sustainable development and continuous improvement32.
