Sprint slippage: spotting the slip before the review
By the sprint review it's too late to act on slippage. Axon flags commitments with no movement mid-sprint, while there's still runway.
A commitment that hasn't moved by Wednesday rarely lands by Friday. Catching the stall mid-sprint is the difference between adjusting scope and apologizing for the demo.
Why is slippage only obvious at the review?
Because that's the first moment the team is forced to demo real, working output. Until then, a commitment marked on-track can sit stalled for the whole sprint, its status untouched, its lack of movement unnoticed.
How do you catch it mid-sprint?
By watching the work, not the label. Axon flags sprint commitments with no real movement this week — no commits, no progress — while there's still time to re-scope, re-assign, or unblock.
Frequently asked
Doesn't our board already show sprint progress?
It shows the status someone set on each card. Sprint slippage is about the cards that say in-progress but have had no actual movement — which the board's label hides.
