- 51Why is your team not meeting the Sprint Goals? Are you completing any User Stories (or however you capture the features you are implementing) to the satisfaction of the Definition of Done? Are you adjusting your Velocity for the upcoming Sprint based on the previous Sprint's Velocity? Is your Product Owner prioritizing the Product Backlog? Is the Product Owner available to answer questions? What is happening at the Sprint Retrospectives?Thomas Owens– Thomas Owens ♦2016-03-23 15:55:53 +00:00Commented Mar 23, 2016 at 15:55
- 20Other possible reasons include: the features are poorly defined or the definition is changing during the sprint. The developers feel pressure to take on more than they can handle (simply saying they can choose doesn't eliminate this possibility.) You need to look at why they aren't finishing. Does being 'done' for that feature require other teams?JimmyJames– JimmyJames2016-03-23 18:51:48 +00:00Commented Mar 23, 2016 at 18:51
- 77So let me get this straight. You're constantly, consistently setting goals that are beyond the team's realistic ability to meet. You've known that this is happening for 18 months, but you keep setting unachievable goals, and now you think it's the team's fault for not meeting them? Einstein's famous definition of insanity springs immediately to mind.Mason Wheeler– Mason Wheeler2016-03-23 20:18:07 +00:00Commented Mar 23, 2016 at 20:18
- 34If " The developers do not choose what goes into a sprint", you do not do scrum.user53141– user531412016-03-23 21:55:24 +00:00Commented Mar 23, 2016 at 21:55
- 10The terminology has changed. Agile teams no longer commit to a sprint, they forecast it. And just like a weather forecast, what you expect next week and what actually happens can change. scrum.org/About/All-Articles/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/…Andy– Andy2016-03-24 00:37:21 +00:00Commented Mar 24, 2016 at 0:37

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
