Ah, if you require better visibility into the progress of a sprint why don't you just attend the daily standup where the developers talk about what they have accomplished, what they will be trying to accomplish and if they have any impediments?

Maybe a few more years in the industry (myself 20years vs your 3?) and you can write a more feasible blog post.
