* Successful demo of planned features * Code can be delivered inactive * ok for multi-sprint projects * bad for stuff that was externally committed * Interruptive priorities * Commited work sometimes pushed out for emergency bugs/features * Plan for less than 100% capacity in a given sprint * Make sure that committed work drops off if interrupts happen * Sizing versus Commitment * Separate the process of determining level of effort from stating what must get done * Make sure you understand how much you can do sustainably before committing * Measure "Project Success" or "QA Process Success"? * The whole project depends on: - Product definition - Development skill - Testing skill - Production monitoring * QA Process is a subset of Testing Skill - Test planning - Test development - Test execution * Everything should be examined in the retrospective and improved each iteration * Think about success for a feature versus success for the larger system * Make sure you measure how good your measurements are (do you get better at estimation and commitment?) * Who measures? * Scrum masters have the time, focus and independence * Need to build trust that valuable things are being measured accurately and independently
