Presales sells possibility. Delivery lives with constraints. That gap is normal, but unmanaged, it becomes dangerous. Presales teams focus on winning, delivery teams focus on surviving. When assumptions made during sales are not validated early, delivery inherits unrealistic commitments. Successful programs actively reconcile presales promises with delivery reality before work starts. Ignoring that step guarantees frustration on both sides.

I see some other SC/Ms just repeating what others said, and just talking too much of what’s already known - and they are appreciated. How do I reach a stage where I am able to do this better?
