A sprint without a goal is a fortnight of tickets. This starts from what the sprint is for, keeps the commitment small enough to be credible, and treats the retrospective as the part that actually compounds.
Free on any plan. You will see this list again in the app, and nothing is created until you press install.
A goal, not a ticket list. Judged on whether the goal was met.
A goal first, then the work that serves it.
The retro is the part that compounds.
If the goal is only to finish these tickets, there is nothing to prioritise against when the fortnight goes wrong, which it usually does.\n\nCommit to less than feels right. A sprint that always overruns teaches everybody the commitment is decorative, which removes the point of having one.\n\nChange one thing after the retro and check next time whether it helped. Ten observations and no change is where the ritual dies.
One goal, the two projects that actually move it, and the weekly review that keeps it honest.
The legal and financial setup, and the first customers — running at the same time.
Evenings-and-weekends scope, cut down to what can actually be finished.
One project per client, and a separate one for the work that keeps clients coming.
It takes one press. Everything it creates is tagged, so if it turns out not to suit you, it is easy to find and remove together.
