Sprint Abnormal Termination

Sprints can be cancelled before they reach their end date:

  • The team can cancel a Sprint if they feel they are unable to meet the Sprint Goal
  • Management can cancel a Sprint if external circumstances negate the value of the Sprint Goal
  • If a Sprint is abnormally terminated, the next step is to conduct a new Sprint planning meeting, where the reason for the termination is reviewed.
