Want it quickier just add more resources.
- afarrell 6y agoHuh? How does that even work?
- noir_lord 6y agoIt doesn't. Not if you want it doing on time, budget or to any degree of quality. You get more bricks but a worse wall.
- wolco 6y agoUsually adding one new resource subtracts a resource overall because they take other resources time. In the best case it may give you half a resource boost but it puts pressure on supporting units.
- afarrell 6y agoEspecially if you only think of them as ‘units’ rather than individuals with strengths and weaknesses.

Except for the word “sprints” all of that long predates Agile. This common management attitude was the central target of The Mythical Man-Month, which was published 26 years before the Agile Manifesto.
