> assigning people to tasks in iteration planning meetings works a lot better than trying to stick to your painstakingly created critical path analysis Imo it depends, and I have been in projects where that approach is also somehow much too late and some answers must be there earlier, or the big picture and some critical paths somehow need to exist. E.g. fine if you can do just software, but what if you need hardware design, or think of production lines? World is complex.
