Recent discussions with my colleagues showed that many software teams still run into trouble because they pack too much planned work into their iterations. Teams will usually run better when they have deliberate Slack, as it allows their delivery to be more predictable and gives them time to improve their environment.
While writing that bliki post, I also defined two styles of task planning in agile projects. Timeboxed Iterations are used to break up work into small chunks with a regular cadence to reassess the work and future plans. Using a little ceremony around allocating work to iterations helps make problems visible so that they can be dealt with properly. Continuous Flow dispenses with that ceremony, so skilled teams often prefer it.
