#5amMesterScrum Lightning Talk 1,169 Live - Know Thy Business Cycle and add it to the Why in the Requirement (3R Thursdays) - Today's topics: (1) There is a falsehood about dates, that they are not needed.  I beg to differ.  Knowing your business and customer cycles can be so important.  And if a cycle is not well know it should be included in the why of a story, feature or Epic depending on the rollout of the value to the customer.  The Meta Cast podcast is what made me think about this as well as the end of the quarter.
