Why AI agents break traditional sprints.

Sprints assume a human batch size: estimate, commit, demo, retro. Agents do not wait for Friday. The unit of work is no longer a two-week promise.

Placeholder: how coding agents, review bots, and always-on eval loops invalidate story-point planning, sprint commitments, and the idea that “capacity” is a team sitting in a room.

When implementation is cheap and verification is the bottleneck, ceremony around estimation becomes waste. The new scarce resource is taste, spec quality, and production judgment.

Here lies the sprint. The work continues.

A post-mortem for corporate Agile. Built for people who still ship.
