When should a sprint end?
- We have consumed all the work we said we would in our sprint planning
- All of the work has been completed.
- Both the team and the product owner agree it should end.
- The amount of time specified for the sprint has run out
Comment: The conversation here is about setting a time-box and sticking to it. Failing to adhere to the time boxes for your sprint is a bad habit. Without time-boxes we rapidly loose our sense of predictability and the amount of complexity we tackle in each bite drifts upward. Teams become fragmented and loose cohesion.
When would you not time box your sprint?
