> whether they'd done exactly the "right" stories in a 2 week sprint

Not only that, but if anything else comes up during the "sprint", you're expected to address it while still finishing everything that you (involuntarily) "committed" to during sprint planning.



WE committed. We made these commitments as a team. If you can't fulfill what has been committed to by the team, then we as a team have to have a discussion about that. I'll put the meeting for next Monday on everyone's outlook.


Estimates are not commitments. I know young devs are preyed upon, but people can't be pushovers in the workplace. It's really detrimental to all, so we need to support reason above rituals and rigid processes.


I've never had a more visceral reaction to a comment.

Thanks, I hate it.


I'm triggered.


I realize your experience is correct but the irony is that Scrum itself doesn't require that nothing else comes up during a sprint. https://www.scrum.org/resources/blog/expedite-handling-unpla...
