Executive summary

Yellow. The sprint closed 6/15 visible items. The team absorbed noise well — 2/5 added items were closed — but predictability on committed work was only 50.0% (6/12), and bugs made up 33.3% of completed items. The main drag was execution system quality, not readiness: 3/6 carryovers had been marked Ready at planning time.

Engineering readout

The sprint did not fail; it traded predictability for responsiveness. 2/5 added items were closed, but that responsiveness came with 33.3% bug share and diluted committed completion.

The miss pattern is concentrated: 1 partial-completion carryovers, 4 dependency-driven misses, and 1 committed items that never really started.

Most misses were not caused by poor readiness. 3 of the 6 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 committed items carry over despite planning readiness?This tests execution quality rather than just scope quality.Show carryovers split by progress continuation, dependency, 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.

Metric tables use the normalized sprint fact base, which keeps planning-only misses and outcome-only additions visible for traceability.
