What root causes and retrospective fixes address chronic sprint overcommitment?
Tests systemic diagnosis over blaming the team. Check capacity math, refinement quality, psychological safety, and stakeholder pressure; propose velocity-guided planning, capacity recalculation, and better refinement.
Tests whether you distinguish systemic planning failures from individual performance issues. A strong answer investigates capacity miscalculations, poorly refined stories that hide complexity, lack of psychological safety preventing pushback, and stakeholder pressure to inflate promises. It then proposes retrospective actions: cap commitments at historical velocity adjusted for actual capacity, enforce a definition of ready, and timebox planning to the Sprint Goal only.
