Spring break week is here ! For me this is like the Innovation and Planning (IP) iteration… time to think, reflect, refresh, recharge, read, imagine, on hiatus, plan, spend more time with family, and pray — yes, it is Holy Week as well.
Take advantage of this event … life is a marathon… have a rest to sustain your pace.
Likewise for Agile… to keep and sustain your cadence of iteration after iteration ad infinitum, you need this guard band — in SAFe it is called the IP iteration — to sustain your pace.
Cheers!
