The Challenge
The financial complexity of global growth
Sprint predictability remains one of the biggest challenges facing development teams today, and mid-sprint scope change is a rampant issue across the industry. Plandek’s quarterly benchmarks highlight the scale of the problem: even the best Scrum teams, on average, change around 50% of their originally planned scope for a sprint.
When sprints are unpredictable, it creates a ripple effect: missed deadlines, stressed teams, and misaligned business objectives. But what happens when a team gains true visibility into their sprint performance?
Eudonet, which joined the Plandek family in February, faced challenges familiar to many development organizations: inconsistent sprint planning, large amounts of scope being changed mid-way through a sprint, and ultimately poor delivery predictability. Like many teams, they struggled to understand their true sprint capacity, making it difficult to plan their two-week sprint cycles effectively.
The Solution
Data-Driven Intelligence
To address these challenges, Eudonet used Plandek’s sprint dashboards to analyze their historical sprint velocity trends, and identify weaknesses in their planning processes. By stepping back to review where things were going wrong, Eudonet gained a clearer understanding of their teams’ capacities, which in turn enabled more realistic and achievable sprint planning.
Next, they implemented Plandek’s newly refreshed “Deliver Sprints” feature (previously known as Smartview Sprints) into their daily stand ups. This powerful visualization tool equipped their development teams with key sprint delivery insights enabling them to:
Track sprint progress in real-time to identify risks to sprint delivery early
Take action to mitigate those risks
Provide Scrum Masters with actionable intelligence for daily operations
The Outcome
Remarkable Results in Just 4 Months
The transformation was impressive. Eudonet’s adoption of the Deliver Sprints feature in Plandek helps paint the picture:
March: Deliver Sprints accounted for just 2% of total Plandek pageviews by Eudonet employees
July: Deliver Sprints accounted for 48% of total pageviews
A 24x increase in engagement demonstrates the value that Eudonet’s teams gained from this feature, with its use as a risk management tool playing a significant role in improving sprint delivery.
Measurable Improvements Across All Predictability Metrics
Sprint Target Completion: Improved by 30%, with teams becoming significantly better at hitting their planned sprint goals.
Mid-Sprint Scope Changes: Decreased from 93% to 56%. A significant improvement to scope management, enabling far more consistent delivery.
The Business Impact
Why sprint predictability matters
These improvements in sprint predictability deliver tangible benefits that extend far beyond the development team:
Improved Planning Accuracy: Leveraging historical velocity data enables more realistic future sprint planning, reducing both over-commitment and under-delivery.
Enhanced Team Morale & Focus: Consistent, achievable sprint goals build momentum and eliminate the stress of constant rework or last-minute scrambles.
Better Business Alignment: Predictable delivery underpins roadmap planning, OKRs, and cross-team coordination, keeping product and engineering teams in sync.
Reduced Waste: Stable sprints minimize task rollover, unplanned work, and context switching, leading to more efficient resource utilization.
The Future
The Path Forward
With improved predictability as their foundation, Eudonet’s teams now have the bandwidth to focus on strategic planning and better resource allocation. Free from constant firefighting sprint issues, they can invest their energy where it matters most: building great software.
