The six week cycle with down time in between chunks can be very effective. The crux is to make sure those blocks are properly scoped to make the best use of everyone's time.

This reminds me of the excellent book 'Shape up' by the team from Basecamp. They also champion upfront 'scoping' to make best use of those six weeks. Highly inspirational book for technically mature organizations.
