Stories like this happened is because managers want to treat software development as a manufacturing process.

I heard stories from past employers where they wanted bi-monthly increases in scrum velocity.

"OK, last sprint the team did 150 points, so we should do 160 points this sprint."

The funny thing is that point estimates just went up to compensate for productivity gain demands. "More productivity" yay!

  • Well I think that is the worst that can be.

    Maybe best as well because you quickly know to pack things up and look for a new job.
