Agile Development -- Starting story but cannot finish due to constraints


What is the usual approach taken when you start a Sprint and halfway through realize one of your stories is not achievable until another team completes work to allow it to pass UAT?

We've started a story and are halfway done with it but cannot finish it until work is completed in 2-3 Sprints from another team.

We don't want to close it but we don't want to "carry" it over for 2 sprints.


Solution

  • Work with the PO to move this story to the product backlog and request for your team (a member) to represent your team in the dependent team's daily stand-up and possibly include a story in their impacted Sprint(s) in order to highlight/communicate your dependency. It's all about building the information 'radiation'.
