Obviously there is some give and take required, but unless the world is blowing up, I will not interrupt the sprint, especially when they are short. 3) shouldn't your velocity level off after a few sprints? Sorry, couldn't think of 6.5 questions! I’m starting my CSM course tomorrow, these are my biggest questions from my experience with Scrum so far.
