2Multi-week sprints are fine when you're doing product development work where the goal is being approached iteratively. It is not a good model when simple and well-understood tasks need to be performed which don't really take long by themselves. It's possible that a Kanban system may better fit the needs at least on the ops front.Hans-Martin Mosner– Hans-Martin Mosner2025-02-24 14:31:27 +00:00Commented Feb 24 at 14:31

@Hans-MartinMosner How would a Kanban system wouldn't ensure that someone is free to work the moment you need them? In my mind the choice here is whether or not to formalize and track the design work.candied_orange– candied_orange2025-02-24 15:11:45 +00:00Commented Feb 24 at 15:11

1There's a difference between "I'll take on this important task right after I finished this other important task" and "We put it on the backlog to be considered for next sprint planning" :-) It's not about getting requests done immediately, but getting them done in a reasonable time. I must admit I'm not truly familiar with Kanban apart from the general impression that its flow-oriented nature makes expedited processing of prioritized tasks easier than the batch-oriented sprint process underlying Scrum. However, at the end of the day, it's a judgement call on how to best avoid waste.Hans-Martin Mosner– Hans-Martin Mosner2025-02-24 15:25:47 +00:00Commented Feb 24 at 15:25

@Hans-MartinMosner neither system speaks to this at all unless you make doing the design a ticket.candied_orange– candied_orange2025-02-24 15:31:25 +00:00Commented Feb 24 at 15:31

@candied_orange Scrum can be interpreted to include design under general refinement, or as a backlog item, its flexible that way. Kanban doesn't really have a good answer for design, other than maybe treat it as a work item in its own right.user1937198– user19371982025-02-25 22:29:19 +00:00Commented Feb 25 at 22:29

``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
