You can’t eliminate risk, but you can master it. When Agile teams approach risk systematically, speak openly, and act early, they turn uncertainty into a source of strategic strength and innovation. 

• Simplicity beats overengineering when uncertainty is high. 

• Proof-of-concepts can prevent expensive mistakes. 

• Pivoting is a sign of strength, not failure. 

• Escalation of commitment can sink good teams. Leaders must remain objective and flexible.
