Dave Nicolette on InfoQ: A Case for Short Iterations

Dave talks about short iterations:

...the discipline of working in timeboxed iterations is the source of some of the value-add of the agile approach, including frequent and regularly-scheduled demonstrations and retrospectives, a consistent schedule for delivering incremental results, frequent opportunities for customer feedback, and the sense of a "heartbeat" or "pulse" that seems to keep teams engaged over the long haul.

I for one enjoyed 1 week iterations vs. the 3 week blocks I did before that. The main benefit I saw was focus and better prioritization.
