I say let’s examine the basics so we can make an informed decision ourselves. We need to understand what work needs to be completed, determine a good way to do it, then make sure it happens while making adjustments as new information emerges. The goals of planning, scheduling, and tracking are universal.

Prioritizing internal sharing of information.
Cadence and synchronization: Teams should work in fixed iterations, known as sprints, and synchronize their work to deliver a consistent flow of value. This cadence allows for regular feedback and course correction, so that teams stay on track and deliver high-quality results.
