Super Brain Metaphor
Instead of a project manager collecting input from team members to do the plan, the whole team plans together in Sprint Planning. Using all experiences, and personalities in a highly interactive and energetic way, facilitated by the Scrum Master. This unleashes the super brain capability which enables high-quality plan and a true commitment by the team. As a positive side effect, team members will feel a stronger commitment towards a plan they have been part of creating.
