> a week-10 day sprint A week-10 day sprint on _one feature_? They haven't drunk the scrum kool-aid yet. Just wait until they do - then every feature will be a "story", and no individual story will be allowed to be assigned more than 8 "story points" (which for some reason means "one day"). If you think a "story" will take more than 8 "story points", you'll be asked to break it down into "subtasks" of no more than 8 "story points" each (you'll be asked to do this accurately in a few minutes in a standup meeting). Trust me, if you tell a higher-up non-programmer that there's anything wrong with the development model, they'll hear "we need to move to the 'scrum' everything-is-mandated-to-take-less-than-a-day development model".
