An entrepreneur argues most teams move too slow. He measures progress in days, not weeks, and says two-week sprints are outdated. Speed and intensity compound: compress work cycles into hours or a single day to deliver more value.

Deliver with intensity. I can't tell you how many businesses I see, even punitively startup or entrepreneurial businesses, that measure their progress in weeks or in months. I gotta tell you, man, I look at it in days. That is the way an entrepreneur moves, with speed. Now, not everything can move that fast, but frankly, the vast majority of things can. And you can do this through plotting that your actual set of turns to be measured in hours as opposed to looking at, you know, days between activities or weeks between activities or turns of the wheel. You know, there's an idea that's called a sprint that's like a 2-week segment that's part of the Agile framework, and my view is that sprint is actually way too slow in the context of like modern software development and usually in most modern business settings. You need to be looking at turns. Turns get measured in hours, at most it gets measured in a day. Ask how you can move faster and with intensity, and you'll deliver a lot more value for your business.
