]]> Comment on What is a sprint or iteration in Agile or Scrum Software Development Projects? by marryjesse http://blog.brightgreenprojects.com/2010/03/10/sprint-iteration-agile-scrum/#comment-264 marryjesse Wed, 01 Sep 2010 11:46:03 +0000 http://blog.brightgreenprojects.com/?p=382#comment-264 A lucid explanation about the differences between sprint and iteration. Of course they are the same but have appeared different for a long time until I read this article. Both sprint and iteration mean a time boxed period at the end of which we have shippable output.

Anyone who has spent time in the seemingly endless stream of business meetings that senior execs find themselves in will know that many of the 'action items' agreed never get actioned, let alone completed. Extending Agile methods and capabilities into this business environment is a great way to solve this. Yes, I like this aspect of the continuous engagement model.

You are turning the multi-client sell-deliver-signoff cycle into a single client sell-deliver cycle. One aspect of Agile which can help turn those employees into Agile Agents is that by being on the same team and interacting daily with the consulting developers, the employees may discover new business requirements faster. For example, new ideas for features or new products can be put forward during the sprints that may never be discovered otherwise. These ideas that occur "in the moment" are often forgotten otherwise and never make it out of the team in a legacy methodology. This is very true Tim.

Excellent. Now how does one get the average executive to follow this rather than be a wimp in CYA mode who allows avaricious consulting organisations to keep ripping their clients off? Indeed it is a conundrum. Great article and I shall share it with my clients. Ha ha ha ha ha.. Excellent.
