Editor's Notes

1. Featuer freeze – lost productivityDevelopers to testing – frsutration, inefficientLast Stories not done – finished in next sprint / left as is / thrown awayDefects Backlog increase
2. Bugs fixingStart design next iterationHelp the QA and hate Scrum 
3. Still story open with defects
4. Empty after testing, development in done testing busy  bottleneck in testingThis is a classic bottleneck in an R&D team.Testing are at their work in progress limit, meaning they cannot take on more work. Acceptance has no work in progress, what we call a “bubble”Development are at their limit as well. Nothing from Testing is DONE waiting to be pulled, which explains why Acceptance has a bubble

7. Automation – not just test automation!How can we help you spend more time actually testing (compared to setup, and other wastes) (http://theoryofconstraints.blogspot.com/2007/06/toc-stories-2-blue-light-creating.html) How often do we need to retest? Why?ATDD - drives better code into testing, as well as offload some testing workAgree on “READY for Testing” criteria for stories, setup relevant team rules and processes.
8. Low quality no bottleneck as development and testing busy Bottleneck in analysis as development busy with low qualiy
