Technical refinment – the power in agile sprint planning
Technical refinment In many Scrum teams, sprint planning sessions often suffer from the chronic problem of task underestimation. While teams aim for agility and velocity, frequently, the work selected for the sprint exceeds the actual capacity due to unclear or vague task definitions. This results in rushed implementation, increased bugs, and lengthy code reviews—ultimately slowing down delivery rather than speeding it up. This is where technical refinement comes in as a game changer. Technical refinement is a focused process during backlog refinement where the development team collaborates deeply to break down, clarify, and technically validate user stories and tasks before sprint planning begins. Technical refinment worth Key ways technical refinement…

Estimations in sprints are ludicrous ?
Estimations in sprints are ludicrous ? We switched from fibonacci complexity to just plain man day. Estimating work in sprints has become a cornerstone of Agile | Scrum methodologies More and more evidence suggests it often creates more problems than it solves. On the other hand it is a nice „form” You can wrap Your work into. It is a nice template. Teams routinely face mismatches between predicted complexity and actual time investment. Exacerbated by meetings that should be an email, administrative overhead and tasks like code reviews. The Fallacy of Sprint Estimation is why complexity metrics miss but do we have anything better ? The complexity is time disconnected…
