Team’s Adherence to Scrum Standard Operating Procedures

Technical Debt Management
Managing the known problems and issues delivered at the end of the sprint. Technical Debt is usually measured by the number of bugs, but may also include deliverables such as training material, user documentation and delivery media.
Quality Delivered to Client and Collaborators
By surveying or meeting with the client and collaborators we can determine if we are building the product the customer needs. Ensure that every sprint provide value to client and become a potentially releasable piece of the product.
Actual Stories Completed vs. Committed Stories
An Agile team maturity is often measured by the team’s ability to understand and predict its capabilities. The teams ability to accurately predict how many stories they will be able to complete during Sprint Planning and most importantly that they finish what they committed to complete.
