Tip #17 - Replanning a sprint
Welcome back to our tips and tricks series!
Your team has already begun the sprint and is half-way through. Suddenly you find a drop in performance. What will you do? You can always replan a sprint and start it again.
When should you replan a sprint?
You end up replanning a sprint only when there are a lot of work items that you cannot finish within the specified duration.
Solution: You can overcome this by conducting proper sprint planning meeting, prioritizing the work items effectively, and allocating resources accordingly.
Whom should you involve while replanning a sprint?
Involve all the members who were present in the sprint planning meeting. The product owner, sprint owner (scrum master), sprint team members should gather around to fix the pitfalls and replan the sprint.
How to avoid replanning of sprint?
Team's that are new to Agile often tend to replan their sprint. It's always good to replan a sprint 'n' number of times until you find the pace of your team. You can resolve this in two ways:
Solution:
- Find the average performance of your team using the velocity chart .
- Schedule a backlog refinement meeting and re-prioritize the work items for better clarity.
Agile is always open to change. Follow the inspect and adapt cycle to strengthen your team's performance. Contact

Hello, It's been a while since we met with a quick, interesting tip. As the saying goes, "Too much of anything is good for nothing", today the focus is on delivering your outcomes with the right amount of planning. Your plan should be practical, calculative, and achievable for driving a qualitative success. Laura's plan Laura has a habit of planning her project deliverables before assigning work to her team-mates.

Continuing from our Tip #2 on leading to a sprint, let's see how to manage the work items on the Scrum board. Once you start the sprint your work items are automatically displayed on the Scrum board where you will actually manage the work items. It is a snapshot of the backlog items identified for the current sprint. The layout of the Scrum board Simply put, the scrum board is just like a physical board with sticky notes on which the work items of the active sprint are displayed. The scrum boardTip#2- Leading you to a Sprint

Lanes define a clear path to reach your destination. In Agile, swimlane is one such concept that sets a simple and clear process of the work that you do. The concept of swimlane can be related to the pool, where the swimmers gather in their respective lanes to start off. Similar to the pool, work items are grouped in different categories.
