I suspect their teams hide their feedback loops. When people create a high-level WBS, no one sees the feedback loops or the dependencies. The feedback loops tend to be late and create chaos in the project. That's another great way to hide feedback loops. I always see unplanned feedback loops.

” It depends on how your lifecycle manages feedback loops and learning, how collaborative the team is, and how much WIP the team has. Each Lifecycle Manages Feedback Loops Differently Brooks wrote the original version of The Mythical Man-Month in 1975, based on the 1960s IBM 360 project. .”
