I'm not sure how that's supposed works if most team members are burning through 14 tasks or 10 tasks or 5 tasks in a two week period. If your tasks are two week chunks, then you're doing something else completely different.

Over a 40 year career I've done all kinds of methodologies. If you understand that there are far better ways to do things, I'm all ears.

The big advantage to agile/scrum methodologies in my opinion: dramatically improved predictability. Total elimination of drama. Efficient management of expectations outside of the development group. Never having to do a death march ever again.
