One thing that putting up an iteration frolic board has really brought home is just how much we expect of ourselves in a given three-week period. We can’t even fit it all on the board! It’s a real eye-opener, having this kind of visual representation of our project load.
I mentioned in the first Agile Living post that we weren’t happy with the term “iteration” for our three-week planning periods. It’s fine for software development but it’s too stuffy for family life.
One alternate term used in the software industry is “sprint”. But even this sounded much too intense and energetic for The Lazy Faire. So after much consideration, we’ve settled on an acceptable substitute term: a frolic.
