<red-flags>
| Thought | Reality |
|---|---|
| "Pack the sprint — we're ambitious" | Over-committed sprints = chronic slippage + morale rot. Calibrate. |
| "No need for acceptance criteria, we know what we want" | Day 9 someone asks 'is this done?' — AC = unambiguous answer. |
| "Story points are cargo-cult" | Use them OR don't, but estimate somehow. Gut-feel = x3 variance. |
