Can someone explain to me the point of a sprint? How about "there is some work available to do, and you do it as you become ready"? Am I supposed to be working

Can someone explain to me the point of a sprint? How about "there is some work available to do, and you do it as you become ready"?
Am I supposed to be working longer than 40 hours this week to finish the work arbitrarily assinged to this sprint, because if so you are absolutely fucking off your rocker.
- mjfisher 4y agoThe point of having sprints is to trade off some utilisation for predictable delivery. I.e. everything should be easily deliverable within a given sprint, to the point that almost everyone is idle (or working on non-sprint activities) by the end of it. In practice successful scrum teams might get 90% of their tasks done a sprint - if that's not happening you need to commit to less each sprint (fewer points or fewer estimated days) until it does.
