Chrome was delivered without any sprints at all (2021)
They seem to be using “sprint” and “death march” interchangeably. These are two entirely different concepts. Sprints are just a way of breaking up work into discrete periods of time. There’s nothing about them that implies “drama, broken marriages, or broken families”. If you don’t finish the work you had planned to during a sprint then you fail the sprint, talk about why during the retro, then do a better job of allocating work in the next sprint. You don’t ruin your marriage over it‽<p>As for the rest of it, it seems like you can summarise the whole thing as <i>“it’s good to have experienced team members”</i>? Sure, but I don’t see why that’s a particularly novel insight.
