Just do away with sprint commitments. Pull a new story off the backlog each time someone needs a task, and count how much you accomplished at the end of the sprint instead of guessing at the beginning.
- quickthrower2 4y agoThat sounds sensible to me! Thanks. Nice to get these perspectives as I have never heard a colleague say that before. I guess you can then get rid of the 2 weeks? Because you can measure velocity as a continuous rolling average. Retros could be continuous too and standups already are. Grooming is easy to make continuous too.
- ineptech 4y agoSure thing! We do still do 2-week sprints, it's just that nothing really happens when one ends and the next begins.
- hw 4y agoTry 3 week sprints. Or 4. ShapeUp by Basecamp recommends 6 weeks. Sticking to the same things everyone is doing is counter agile, and you should be experimenting and see what works for your team
