Streamline ^TM

Engineering and programming are “creative craft work”. A work breakdown structure uses the wrong model for that kind of work, because “tasks” are not time-definite.

A roadmap is more flexible: it has time, but it is mostly about dependencies.

And it lends itself naturally to finding critical paths.

What about Agile?

An “Agile backlog” is not time-based, so you lose track of timeliness – let alone what is in the backlog…

“Remember that thing we added to the backlog – what was it?”
