Short answer: Follow On: Common pitfalls: Overcommitting based on optimism, not team capacity.

Explain a bit more

No clear Sprint Goal, leading to scattered efforts. PO not prepared, causing delays or confusion. Ignoring team availability (e.g., vacations, holidays). Skipping task breakdown, leading to unclear work. How to avoid: Come prepared with a refined backlog. Use velocity or past Sprint performance as a guide. Define a meaningful Sprint Goal. Factor in team availability.
