If your team has to change what they do one month or six weeks into a quarter's estimation or commitment, the product feedback loop is too long. Instead, consider using flow-based roadmapping.

I’m working on my roadmapping talk for Agile 2018. I finally had the transforming idea about how to position the talk: Roadmapping and product planning are about feedback loops. The shorter the feedback loop, the faster and more often we can learn.

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.
