Choosing The Right Amount of Iteration for Any Project:  A Value-Maximizing Approach
Mike Hannon
The 2-week sprint has become a default in the Agile/Scrum world, while in other environments–such as the build phase of a construction project–we would never want to iterate more than once.  When might it be a higher-value option to be more intentional about the number of iterations?  When might it make sense to flex the duration of some iterations?  This session offers a few useful rules of thumb to answer these questions in a manner that maximizes the value to be harvested and goes further with an actual formula you can use to calculate when it makes sense to iterate further–and when it doesn’t.

Let's talk about:

• The importance of self-care to sustain peak performance, foster resilience, and ultimately enhance leadership effectiveness.
• When might it be a higher-value option to be more intentional about the number of iterations? 
• When might it make sense to flex the duration of some iterations?
