Notes:
Do not add the solution here.
An Intermission must always fit on a printed A4 page. If it does not, you haven’t a clear enough view
of the problem yet. Keep working on it.
Always have active and upcoming Intermissions printed in your team area or war room.
Always use plain simple English, no technical terminology or codenames. Write this document as
you would describe the problem to a colleague face to face.
The PM owns the Intermission, but should always always solicit input from the full team.
