YDS: Can Scrum Teams Work Overtime to Reach a Sprint Goal?

Apr 26, 2023

Ryan and Todd discuss whether it is acceptable for Scrum teams to work overtime to reach a Sprint goal. They believe working overtime can be okay if the Scrum Team misses something significant during Sprint Planning. However, it should not become a regular occurrence, as studies have shown that overtime can negatively impact quality and morale. They suggest that if overtime becomes excessive, the team should focus on product backlog refinement and their Sprint Planning practices. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
