2. ―The… ‗relay race‘ approach to product development…may
conflict with the goals of maximum speed and flexibility. Instead a
holistic or ‗rugby‘ approach—where a team tries to go the
distance as a unit, passing the ball back and forth—may better
serve today‘s competitive requirements.‖Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka,
―The New New Product Development Game‖, Harvard Business Review,
January 1986.

No changes during a sprint. ―Terminate‖ a sprint if required
