Because no PMs want to adhere to "sprint forecast," but insist on "sprint commitments," you literally cannot commit to doing a unit of work that depends on someone else getting theirs done first until they are done. A smooth flow that gets to market quicker now _must_ be lock step gated by sprint start dates. /me sighs
