Understood, I should probably describe further. (and I think your comment below may be the way to handle it). We have a core group of 8 engineers that all form one team. They all work on R&D for our core product. When we sell the product, we sell customizations and extensions that are developed specifically for the given customer. So the way this ends up working is that we end up with a core R&D sprint happening with (potentially) a set of smaller sprints running in parallel with only a part of the core team. Example: - Core R&D: everyone - Proj A: 2 engineers - Proj B: 3 engineers - Proj C: 4 engineers When people are on multiple sprints (core and a project), they split their time. I haven't tried what you describe below yet, but if there is a way to adjust the amount of available time per engineer, per sprint, this should cover us. I will give it a try and let you know. -Allen > Anyway you could still have a > big team, only one, with all the people inside, and use the same > license on 5 different "Product" (Agilo Project) just assigning to the > Sprint a Capacity only to the Team Members working on that Sprint :-) > >> It is obviously totally up to you guys, I am just thinking out loud >> here about a potential problem in the licensing. > Allen, you know we are really open and we build Agilo like it is > thanks to all the feedbacks we get from you users... so we don't > consider anything entirely up to us :-) > > Thank you > >> -Allen > ANdreaT > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Agilo for Scrum" group.
