At Thornfield Labs, the team's velocity has been exactly 35 points for four sprints. The Scrum Master suspects the team is 'parking' work to hit this number.

What should the SM do first?

  1. Notify the Product Owner that the team is potentially manipulating their delivery data, before confirming the relevant stakeholders agree.
  2. Challenge the team during planning to take on 45 points to break the pattern.
  3. Facilitate a blameless discussion in the retrospective about how velocity is being used and perceived.
  4. Secretly audit the story points of completed work to find evidence of 'parking'.
