yeah, my experience is that big data + agile planning = fail.
in the typical agile process, calendar time is ignored, and people pretend that you can just manage punchclock time. the result of that is that you end up with two days to go to the end of the sprint and a four day job that needs to run.

Where is a two day delay for delivery "fail". There is no incompatibility with agile planning. You don’t go on vacation every time a job runs, you work on another project.
