Time and Tide and Software releases…

My team releases software every week regardless of the political landscape or inefficiencies of other departments. Ours is a disciplined and rigorous approach, we aim to be proactive and to keep the momentum forward, never backward. After all this is agile and we embrace the iterative and incremental nature of our game. To the gentlemen from the hydro-methodology this does not make sense. Surely you should only release when the business say so and when the business are ready for your release. If we did that then we would be constrained by the same inefficiencies that plague other teams. And that aint agile. So I suppose time and tide and software releases wait for no man.
