    From CP newsletter Agile is no Excuse - DevOps.com[^] It somewhat references agile but also references long term plans and telling customers about those long term plans. Not in special cases but in all cases. No that isn't a good idea, especially when agile is in play. That is because, even though it probably shouldn't work that way, I have been on too many longer term initiatives via agile that got delayed or even axed because something else came up later that seemed more important. And then someone is left explaining to the customers that were eagerly waiting for it why it didn't show up. ------------------------------------ Actually reminds me of attending long ago company meetings where the sales department would eagerly tell everyone about the major potential customers that were in the pipeline. And then one would never hear about those customers again.
