Disclosed herein is a computer implemented scheduling method. The method comprises processing project data to determine one or more team-specific scheduling solutions for work items, each team specific scheduling solution for the work item defining a particular team and one or more iterations of that particular team in which the work item can be completed; identifying from the one or more team-specific scheduling solutions an optimal scheduling solution for the work item, the optimal scheduling solution being selected based at least in part on the number of iterations defined by each of the one or more team-specific scheduling solutions; and scheduling the work item according to the optimal scheduling solution identified for the work item.
