Panel - Predictability and Productivity...Does Agile Help?
summary
Panelists argue Agile’s value by example: one team’s velocity spikes from the 50s to the 80s because of story point inflation; a SaaS vendor shrinks year‑long rollouts to two‑week increments and quarterly releases after a four‑year transformation; teams raise quality and shared skill through mob programming and pairing; building an “embryonic” prototype then iterating delivers predictability as incremental embryonic releases and enables bargain hunting to cut delivery from weeks to days.
