Thanks for the blog – nice and concise expression of agility.

Regarding Scrum, some Scrum teams also have multiple Outcomes. Or maybe I should say, there’s one Outcome and a number of intermediate steps towards that Outcome that are smaller Outcomes in their own right.

Those intermediate steps would be individual backlog items/user stories/features that may or may not be delivered at the same point in time. That is, while a Scrum team might have a sprint goal (Outcome) of “Charge Our Subscribers” they might deploy the ability to charge credit cards into production four days into the sprint, electronic invoicing a couple of days later, etc.

What I describe here isn’t canonical Scrum, perhaps, but it’s not exactly against the dogma either.
