A 3rd party blog mentions my past posts on #agile #StorySpikes. It correctly quotes what I said, but contrasting it with @kentbeck drops context. My original #Scrum specific context aligns with Kent's.

Spikes provide for #ValidatedLearning & a smaller #ConeOfUncertainty. No #SprintBacklog item can exceed a single Sprint. Prefer time boxes ≤ 2-3 days, but spikes ≤ full team capacity for a single Sprint can be valid edge cases.
