We all know that in agile methods, time is time-boxed. Iterations are the way work is managed. Time is fixed. But does that mean you don’t need to spend any effort thinking about time management? Not at all.
There are a number of different agile artifacts that influence and shape the project team’s approach to managing time on the project. They start with the product roadmap and get progressively more and more granular until you end up at the sprint backlog. If we’re talking sprints, we’re talking Scrum, but you can see how this approach is relevant for other agile methods too.
While there is a lot of flexibility in the ‘what’ in agile, the ‘when’ is pretty strictly controlled.
What are your top tips for managing time on agile projects? Do you use any other artifacts to help the team stay on track? Share them in the comments below!
