At the Initiative Horizon, we see the concept of adaptive planning expressed when a solution owner:
The team is expanding and refining customer scenarios as the solution components are being developed. This is an application of the following agile business analysis principle:
The team is discussing what analysis performed at the initiative level should include. They realize this analysis will support a number of key decisions, particularly decisions around the:
The product owner has found the overall goals of an initiative need to change and discusses the revisions with the team.

When the product owner determines there has been enough value delivered on the initiative to satisfy the need, then the sponsor’s immediate next step is to:
When recommending solution options at the Initiative Horizon, the team decides that their goal is to provide decision makers with:
A team has been delivering a steady stream of small value increments towards a goal for 4 months, and has completed several solution components, with several still potentially doable. The solution owner examines the reactions to the delivered components from customers, and decides which one(s) the team will do next. The solution owner is demonstrating:
