Leadership ranks two teams on the same ART solely by story points after the last PI. How should the Scrum Master / Team Coach respond?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Story points are a team's private ruler, not a citywide race. Comparing two ART teams by points is like ranking firehouses by how many sticky notes they wrote. Outcomes and local flow beat the league table.
Full Explanation
Story points are a local planning tool; they are not a cross-team performance currency. Comparing two teams on the same ART by points rewards inflation and hides resident outcomes. The Scrum Master / Team Coach refuses the comparison and redirects leadership to outcome-based, team-local measures. Averaging, normalizing, or publishing a league table still treats points as a ranking system.
