Poor Sprint planning process, e.g. workload fully matches capacity, no buffer preserved or/and day offs are not taken into account 

Discovered by combination of metrics:

Velocity: Committed vs. Completed, when team does not meet commitments leaving sprint backlog in not completed state by the end of iteration 

Average Velocity, when team's productivity keeps on the same level without any signs of growth or degradations are observed over time 

Sprint Plan Change, high percentage of items being added or removed during active iteration 

Recommendations: 

  1. Build delivery plan - product and sprint levels

  2. Introduce or enhance planning process

  3. Enhance Sprint executionÂ
