The premature cancellation of a ScrumSprint, due to one of several causes:
- Certainty that the SprintGoal cannot be achieved.
- Fundamental and urgent external changes that invalidate the SprintGoal or the bulk of the functionality.
- Failure of the ScrumProcess implementation for reasons such as:
- fundamental team conflict
- inability to engage ProductOwner to get answers for the team
ScrumSprintAbnormalTermination is a rare act, not to be taken lightly.
