Here's an activity you can do right now to help your team grapple with talking about risk and uncertainty. There is nothing new/groundbreaking about this idea, but I am amazed by how few teams slow down to do this as a team. What happens instead? A small group of people get together and fill out a persuasive PRD. They internalize the risks and try to boil things down at a super high level. The risk section has a couple bullets, but they never get revisited. Or the team slips into the vortex of traditional project management: exhaustively listing risks related to schedule and nothing else.
