Organization and methodologies

Each cycle lasts six weeks and is divided into three sprints, plus one additional sprint for cooldown, focusing on time-to-market and day-to-day work. Each sprint has specific goals, timelines, teams, and rules:

  • Discovery lanes last two weeks and aim at reducing uncertainty and defining the work to be done
  • Delivery Missions last six weeks and are meant to deliver value
  • Ground Lanes ensure that day-to-day business is supported within each craft
