The #Lightweight emphasis on delivering frequently comes from an era when delivering every 6-18 months was commonplace and customers were starved for new features. Many of us don't live there any more.
Delivering frequently doesn't mean "Always Be Shipping New Features". It means practising delivery until you can do it in your sleep.
This is one way to generate options in order to enable a strategy that fits your business.
@allenholub if you have things that need to be done, it totally makes sense to make a plan on how to do them most efficiently. That’s routine work.
But that’s not what agile is about. Developing innovative products is about exploring options. You want to have a set of options that’s bigger then what you can do. And you sift through that heap of ideas for the next thing to learn more about, so that your decisions can get better and better over time. #realoptions
