RECORD SPRINT

Sprint 5 · 110 points

No mid-sprint additions, zero carry-over from S4, and the team's highest-complexity stories were completed two days early. The bar is not the goal — the conditions are.

Trend: rising with one dip

Average across 8 sprints: 89 points. S4 dipped to 78 — a dependency on an external API that shipped late. Excluding S4, the underlying trajectory is +4 pts/sprint.

What the chart doesn't show

Story points measure scope delivered, not value shipped. S3 at 95 points included three stories that were deprioritised before the sprint ended — they don't appear in the count.
