During sprint planning, the team estimates the sprint backlog items and realizes they have committed to 20% more than their average velocity. What should they do?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Remove lower-priority items from the sprint backlog until the commitment aligns with team capacity

Explanation

Overcommitting to sprint work sets the team up for failure and undermines trust. The team should remove lower-priority items (in consultation with the product owner) until the sprint backlog aligns with realistic capacity. Better to deliver a focused sprint goal fully than to overcommit and deliver partially — predictability builds stakeholder trust.
