Can I use sprints for everything?
@themikeshelton #eduiconf
DO Use for big, tough problems.
@themikeshelton #eduiconf
DON’T Use if significant research is needed first.
@themikeshelton #eduiconf
DO Use to start a new project in a clear direction.
@themikeshelton #eduiconf
DON’T Use if project is only a days in scope.
@themikeshelton #eduiconf
DO Use to prevent the executive swoop n’ poop.
