Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to unfinished work at the end of a sprint?

Unfinished items are returned to the backlog and re-prioritized for inclusion in a future sprint. The team discusses why items were not completed during the retrospective.

Can work be added mid-sprint?

Adding work mid-sprint is discouraged as it disrupts focus. Emergency items can be added if the property owner and team agree, with an equivalent item removed from the sprint.

How is sprint success measured?

Sprint success is measured by completion of the sprint goal, percentage of committed items delivered, and the quality of the output as determined by stakeholder review.
