Deep dives
The motivation to write the book on Sprint goals
Martin Dulman wrote the book on Sprint goals because there wasn't a book on it yet, and he wanted to provide a different perspective that would be interesting for readers. He believes that as long as the Sprint goal is met, it's okay to have carryover work from one sprint to the next, rather than imposing artificial boundaries. Having consistent flow and allowing teams to start new work towards the end of a Sprint can be beneficial. Martin also highlights the importance of setting clear Sprint goals and offers practical advice for teams struggling with narrowing down goals and selecting the most important items for their sprints.
