Adding pressure to your team is like adding salt to your food: if you add a little bit, everything will be fine, and the result will be better; if you add more, the result might be better, but your health will suffer; if you add even more, you’ve just ruined everything, and you need to start again (for foods, you can just add potatoes and fix it).<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n From my experience, the two main reasons a team gets stressed and pressured are lack of visibility and lack of predictability.<\/span><\/p>\n First of all, what is visibility? Visibility is the transparency of your team’s process. It means allowing all stakeholders to know what you are doing, how you are doing and why you are doing.

On the other hand, when they have it, it is easier to agree on a sustainable development<\/span><\/p>\n To improve visibility on your team, you can:<\/span><\/p>\n Predictability is knowing when you are going to finish a demand, or what you’ll produce until a specific date. Without that information, you might find yourself always running against time, because you’ll never know if you are on the right track or not.<\/span><\/p>\n Fear of missing a deadline is the most famous cause of pressure in a team, but if you gather the right information throughout the process, you can negotiate:<\/span><\/p>\n In order to achieve that level of predictability, you will need a very good process in place:<\/span><\/p>\n If you have visibility and predictability in your process, the pressure is easily tunable. You can adjust it in order to improve the overall and long-term performance of the team, without having to deal with hypertension in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n Can you say you have a predictable and visible process?
