On “You should really consider 6 week sprints”

We do this at work. We do Shape Up. See:https://basecamp.com/shapeup or link to this video for a good overview. When fully staffed, we do 2 parallel 6 week work streams each containing 2-3 devs. One other group handles smaller items and adhoc requests and we rotate. Then a 2 week cool down where we prepare for the next cycle.
