| Estimates | Gut feeling | Data-driven scoring |
| Dependencies | Often missed | Systematically identified |
| Parallelism | Hard to spot | Automatically detected |
| Risk Assessment | Ad-hoc | Categorized and scored |
| Progress | Spreadsheet tracking | Built-in monitoring |
| Retrospective | Usually skipped | Guided review process |
