Agile and Scrum can work well for eCommerce—but retail cycles and seasonal demand require adaptation.
When Agile Works
Product development, platform improvements, and iterative features fit Agile well. Two-week sprints, retrospectives, and continuous delivery help teams ship faster and learn.
Retail Cycles
Peak season (Black Friday, Christmas) requires fixed deadlines. Plan ahead: feature freeze, QA, and rollout windows. Use Agile for discovery and development, but lock dates for launch.
When to Adapt
Don't rigidly follow Scrum if it doesn't fit. Kanban for support and ops. Longer cycles for complex migrations. The goal is flow and learning, not ceremony.
