Choosing the most appropriate business approach within a firm presents a very delicate process owing to the ever-transforming business world. Discovery-driven teams operate on the basis that business firm assumptions regarding business models are appropriately tested and stated (McGrath, 2010).

Discovery-driven planning calls for chronology in handling business ideas from their conception. The executive teams are expected to steer the business towards success by pursuing ...
