Sprint Rescue Crate

What this snack represents

Emergency calories for when scope escaped the yard. Includes triage, replanning, rollback, and morale snacks.

Plain English: Sprint rescue work usually means earlier planning assumptions failed.

Formula: 1h triage × 8 + 4h replanning + 2h rollback + 8h morale snacks

What this teaches: Replanning, Risk, Scope Control.

Why teams underestimate it

The shelf label works because the cost is usually hidden across clarification, review, context switching, QA, and follow-up decisions. BarkBowl makes those ingredients visible before the work is treated as free.

Time formula

1h triage × 8 + 4h replanning + 2h rollback + 8h morale snacks

Worked example

One serving of Sprint Rescue Crate is currently modeled at 22 hours, or 22 person-hours. Multiply servings when the work repeats, spreads across more people, or needs another review cycle.

Warning label

Frequent use indicates planning malnutrition.

Evidence needed

Before committing this snack, collect an owner, a reason, a time formula, a rollback or no-op alternative, and a short explanation of what the receipt does and does not prove.

How to reduce the cost

Mid-Sprint Risk Review Bites

No-op alternative

If evidence, authority, or capacity is missing, the mature move may be to record a no-op decision and revisit when the missing ingredient exists.
