Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is this different from Scrum?

A: PS ERP is a 'Business Sprint' framework. It focuses on broader business milestones, not just software tickets.

A: A 30-minute session to verify what was completed and 'Evaluate' (E) the effort vs. outcome.

Q: How many tasks should an individual have per week?

A: Ideally 3-5 'Big Rocks.' Any more leads to 'Multitasking Friction'.

Q: Why is 'Simulate' a step in weekly planning?

A: To see if the tasks actually fit into the 40-hour work week given existing meetings.

Q: Should the whole team attend PS ERP planning?

A: Yes. Participation increases 'Ownership' and 'Accountability'.
