I'm not a big basketball fan. I don't know that much about the game. I was a volleyball player in college and as a young adult (30's). At breakfast today (Sunday), while working a DoD program for the past 4 months in prep for the IBR, was highlights of basketball. One of my team does know basketball and I asked how do the players coordinate that drive, pass and dunk play? Do they practice that?
The answer was perfect...
The play evolves from skill and experience of the players. They "know" where the other people will be during the emerging play. They have situational awareness, skill, and deep experience to "know" what to do next.
The agile processes that are successful have players that "know" what to do from skill and experience.
