Hi Per, others,
in your book you latest book
http://www.amazon.com/Agility-Discipline-Made-Easy-Addison-W esley/dp/0321321308
(Classical RUP says the same I guess) you say the Elaboration usually has
longer iterations vs the Construction having shorter iterations (you have
probably focused on a level of parallelism enabled by stable architecture
later in the Construction, haven't you?) - however this doesn't correspond
to my experience: I see this level of parallelism as one of many, actually;
to have shorter iterations in the Elaboration actually enables faster
feedback we are on the wrong track (quite likely in the phase) - I'm strong
advocate for this even in challenging environment like distribute team and
challenging architecture - it is always matter of imagination/intuition
(challenge it!) to find out how to make the iteration as efficient as
possible, isn't it? however if you simply accept "let's have longer
iterations" then you will lose the opportunity;-) On the other hand in the
Construction we focus on complete increment (beta version of a bunch of
functionality) and this also consumes certain amount of time. Actually what
I have observed is sort of similar length of iterations (3 +- one week)
distributed among phases (specific length depends on several factors).
Can you please correct me if I'm wrong/share your view?
Thanks a lot,
Roman
