Seriously people grow up! This is the selfish behaviour of 3 year old kids, no care or consideration for anything other than what they want. People never fail to disappoint me!

A healthy (predictable) #Scrum team delivers the amount of planned work (or more) - in terms of PBIs or SPs - ~50% of the time. A very healthy Scrum team doesn't concern themselves with Sprint output & instead focuses on delivering useful & impactful solutions to customer needs.

If we take SW biz as a "discovery" problem instead of brick-laying ("delivery") problem, we quickly find that predictive methods are inadequate. This is the core of agile: adaptive methods work best. Estimation is predictive, not adaptive.

No amount of collaboration workshops can help an overloaded team made up of members who are appraised on individual performance.

I love watching people use the word estimate in planning meetings. Half the room is thinking โ€œguessโ€ & the other half is thinking โ€œtargetโ€ โ€“ at Coogee, Sydney

Multiple NOT single metric: Easy to improve one metric. But at what cost? Use a set of metrics that capture damage of over-driving any one.
