Gratification in the form of working software provides business value. Sooner is better, for some values of working software.
This insight that replanning is easier with agile methods is pretty key.
- Zigurd 5y agoIt is not just easier. Agile avoids assigning people to tasks until tasks are started in an iteration, or continuously as in kanban style Agile. This means you give up that beautiful "network diagram" CPM schedule estimate with no overloaded resources. But because of the nature of most software development projects, it becomes a burden, or a lie, within weeks.
- beckingz 5y agoYup. Avoiding the overhead of heavy project management practices is also great. Of course, it becomes less great when you start getting dependencies between teams and 2 week sprint delays mean that it takes months to get something cycled through different teams.
