To clarify my definition:
Changing requirements should only happen outside the scope of committed work; otherwise you're building churn, poor features, and poor code.
This lever of "committed work" can be adjusted per team (1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and so on).
It seems you agree with my view of a minimum of 1 week before it can change.
I agree also with fine grained tasks/stories. As small as possible and as consistent as possible. They should all have clear DOD's though.
Definitely agree with smallest possible units of value (that also varies per a person).
- jacques_chester 7y agoYes, I think we basically agree. Normal practice at Pivotal is to hold weekly Iteration Planning Meetings (IPM). Most product managers aim to keep around 2 weeks of ready work in the backlog, based on what Tracker is predicting. Anything more than that will be usually be cards in the icebox.
