So, what did we learn?


What you create doesn’t matter. It’s what you learned by creating

Can I use sprints for everything?


DO Use for big, tough problems.


DON’T Use if significant research is needed first.


DO Use to start a new project in a clear direction.


DON’T Use if project is only a days in scope.


DO Use to prevent the executive swoop n’ poop.
