Comment on Great engineering teams focus on milestones instead of projectsparent

Comments

It's the same issue with SAFe, with the added cost of many additional meetings that provide little value.

Redefining "complete" or letting a story roll over, e.g. the estimate for finishing it was wrong, seems to indicate something doesn't work as it should.

Breaking down a project into milestones sounds like a great idea, i totally agree that project management could use an alternative.

All the overhead that occurs with Scrum / SAFe / Agile in general is absolutely terrible. Daily standups? Sprint planning? Retrospectives? Grooming meetings? Then there are additional, generally agenda-less team meetings on top of it. All these meetings, plus time lost to context switching, etc., probably adds up to 20 or 25% of the time.
