Short iterations (as in Scrum / XP) or even continuous flow (as in Lean / Kanban) are an essential part of Agile planning.

Teams struggle with finding time to understand requirements, finish testing, and perform adequate design. They often have trouble getting work to “done done†and ready to release as a result. This session reveals the secret sauce of Agile development: simultaneous phases. Come experience how simultaneous phases allow you to avoid hacks like “requirements iterations,†“testing iterations,†or “refactoring stories,†and make short iterations and continuous flow possible.
