What is carry over in scrum?
“How many carry-overs do we have from the previous Sprint?”, a dreaded question often asked during Sprint Planning. Carry-overs are what allows the Scrum Team to be flexible and adaptive. Carry-overs are the mark of a team that made the right decisions during the Sprint.
Who should pick the items to be worked on during the next sprint?
Managers, Product Owners, Scrum Masters select the items for the Sprint Backlog and the Development Team is only allowed to agree. Many people wish to make their mark and influence the Sprint Backlog. From within the Scrum Team and outside the Scrum Team.
What is sprint spillover?
Simply put, a spillover is a backlog item that has failed to meet the criteria defined in the Definition of Done (DoD) for the project team. The team may decide that some of these criteria is not applicable for certain stories during sprint planning and those should be evaluated accordingly.
What are the two things that should be completed before moving to next sprint planning?
Sprint planning involves two key tasks: grooming the backlog and deciding which work to complete in the upcoming sprint. At Atlassian, we’ve found that backlog grooming is best done in a separate meeting with the product owner and scrum master before the actual sprint planning meeting.
Which is not considered during Sprint planning?
Common Pitfalls. Sprint planning can become ineffective when your team does not have a properly refined product backlog from which to draw product backlog items. Those ready product backlog items can then serve as the potential product backlog items you consider for inclusion in the sprint.
Why are carry over items important in a sprint?
Carry-over items can become a weight around a team’s neck that will eventually cause delays, or even project failure. I’ve found the best way to assess predictability in a sprint is to not only track velocity and defect counts, but also to track a team’s definition of “Done” through a carry-over report.

What should be included in the next sprint?
When planning the next sprint and what can get done, the discussion should include the fact that much of the work is already accomplished. If the team decides they can fit it into the sprint, then it goes in, with its original number of points. If not, it stays in the backlog.
How to track work remaining in a sprint?
If it helps, you could track a separate “work remaining” metric per user story, so that if, by the end of the sprint, the story isn’t complete, the estimated work remaining can be noted on the story and factored in when planning its inclusion in a subsequent sprint. But even then, don’t alter the original story’s point value.
