Consistency of project management – No confusion necessary. The management team needs only one methodology.
Consistency of execution – The customer team members are only required to learn one methodology. Cross product team members will be using the same process for all products.
Alignment of milestones – The projects are planned together and aligned so that the common milestones are achieved at the right time.
Uniformity of communication – Project progress is reported in the same way across all product workstreams. Stakeholders can easily understand the common reporting language.
One common Agile sprint cycle – Parallel sprints to a common drumbeat and an aligned outcome.
