Case Study
A team has been doing Scrum for 6 months, and it has never gotten to 100% done at the end of a Sprint; it only gets to 80-90% done every Sprint. Now the PO is asking them if they can complete all feature before the ‘deadline’.
一个团队已经运用Scrum6个月了,并且他们从未实现过100%完成一个Sprint;每个Sprint他们只能完成80-90%。现在 PO 在问团队是否可以在最后期限前完成所有功能。
