In an earlier workplace, where my team was delivering all the tasks agreed to sprint after sprint, my manager told me that i was less demanding on my team, since they seem to easily finish what they agreed on!

Are you saying your response to your manager's observation was to crack the metaphorical whip and demand more from them? And that they adjusted their estimates upward in response? Do you think they were actually at their maximum sustainable velocity before? Would you have done it differently if you could go back in time and change what you did?
- foolinaround 5y agoi never bought in to this, since the team was working hard, and had to support the odd production issues as well. However, the team did inflate the points for some stories, and then moved some stories across sprints from time to time. i hated the slavedriver attitude, and it was one of the reasons I left.
