 And finally we could also consider other more direct and experimental approaches. For example:
-  * 1/2 Velocity experiment: Team sets up an experiment by saying “Why don’t we set up an experiment where we plan to half our normal velocity as an artificial limit just to see if it helps.” The idea here is that by reducing the overcommit the Team will actually produce more and feel better about the result.

   * 1/2 Iteration experiment: Team sets up an experiment by saying “Why don’t we set up an experiment where we plan to half an Iteration just to see if it helps.” The idea here is that it easier to plan a short term future than a long term one.
 Note: These ideas can be applied at all levels of Iteration - a Team 2 week cadence, a Program quarterly cadence.
-The bottom line is that overcommitment is a problem that needs to be addressed if we really want to achieve a sustainable pace for the Teams, manage the expectations of our customers, ensure good work / life balance for our people increasing their engagement, and increase throughput.
