Many teams use a Sprint 0 to get an initial backlog. Just a couple of examples: Jeff Patton (http://www.agileproductdesign.com/) have some works on that. Also Joke Vandemaele made a presentation on Power Workshops (http://www.slideshare.net/agiles2009/agiles-2009-power-workshops-kickstarting-your-agile-project-joke-vandemaele) This is not "a problem in Agile Methods", in the sense that it is solved in every team using agile in some sense, as long as the team run successful. So I'm curious, where do you see the problem? Hi Santiago

So I’m curious, where do you see the problem?

I'm referring to something slightly different. One is that most talk is about sprints and not pregame and postgame. That paper says very little about them, and I think there are some key issues there. Another one is that, although this may sound strange, the view of "pregame, game, postgame" has some "waterfall" thinking. I prefer a more transitioned approach to all activities of development. And to think about different types of sprints. I know about the pregame and postgame. I’m referring to something slightly different.

I recommend Ken Schwaber's original paper on Scrum: http://jeffsutherland.com/oopsla/schwapub.pdf They are called "Pregame" and "Postgame" phases there. It's true that this is not very well-known :( Cheers. But they _do_ say it (you have to look for it).
