The end of the sprint should not be a deadline, but a goal. Wasn't that kinda the point of the article?
No one ever said a story has to fit within a sprint, that's not how agile or sprints are supposed to work. Some stories take multiple sprints. You should always break down large stories into sub-tasks that do fit within sprints.
This iteration thing your describing sounds almost exactly like sprints to me, just reworded to sound like their own thing.
- latchkey 7y agoAh, the difference is that with iterations, there is never an 'end' and goals are just epics. Correct, all larger stories should be broken down. To be super clear, this is not my own thing. =) It is Pivotal's thing. I am just explaining the process as it was taught to me.
- alasdair_ 7y ago>Ah, the difference is that with iterations, there is never an 'end' and goals are just epics. Jira uses epics in the same way. And I'm not sure what you mean by "there is never an 'end'" - how does that differ from sprints? Iterations and sprints are just two words for exactly the same thing.
