Episode 54 – Visioning The Sprint

The nature of Scrum is a cycle.   Every two weeks feels like a brand new mission.   Sometimes, its easy to lose sight of the overall vision and lose our sense of passion and shared purpose.   A Sprint Theme, or Vision, can help with that. Use the sprint theme not as a list of work or stories to complete in the next two weeks, but as a commitment to changing the world - what is the most important thing we can achieve in this upcoming increment? It can be stories or features but it also can be improvements, clearing impediments or winning support Make sure the team builds it together - unlike organizational and product visions, a sprint vision is owned by the team, for the team.
