Executive summary

Yellow. The sprint closed 10/21 visible items. The team absorbed noise well — all 3 added items were closed — but finish predictability was only 53.8% (7/13), and bugs made up 90.0% of completed items. Planning-baseline carryover includes 6 finish misses and 3 expected progress continuations.

Engineering readout

The sprint did not fail; it traded predictability for responsiveness. All 3 added items were closed, but that responsiveness came with 90.0% bug share and diluted finish predictability.

The miss pattern is concentrated: 6 partial-completion carryovers, 3 dependency-driven misses, and 1 planning-baseline items that never really started.

Most misses were not caused by poor readiness. 4 of the 11 planning-baseline carryovers had been marked Ready, so the stronger hypothesis is breakdown, sequencing, and capacity protection rather than simple scoping immaturity.

Executive follow-up questions

QuestionWhy this mattersWhat evidence to ask for
Why did finish-intent items carry over despite planning readiness?This tests execution quality rather than just scope quality.Show finish-intent carryovers split by dependency, partial completion, and not-started.
Are Progress items being managed intentionally?Progress items are allowed to continue, but the continuation should be visible and controlled.Show the original slice and the specific landing expectation for each item.
Is added work a healthy responsiveness level or chronic interruption?High responsiveness can hide systemic instability and diluted predictability.Show which added items were urgent/reactive versus discretionary scope change.
Can we trust Done in review when workflow is still non-final?Workflow-truth gaps reduce trust and make completion easy to game.Show the exact mismatches and the completion rule to enforce next sprint.

Usage note: start with the top-line metrics, then use the traceability links to answer these questions with issue-level evidence.

Planning and outcome are separate frozen moments. Raw snapshot counts can be larger than metric counts because canceled/cancelled rows stay in audit but leave all metric denominators.

Added after planning is snapshot-based: present in the outcome snapshot and absent from the planning snapshot. Planned but missing from review shows items that left the sprint snapshot before review.

Planning-baseline carryover includes both finish-intent misses and expected Progress continuations. Use Finish-intent carryover when you want only planned-to-finish items that did not finish.
