Commitment vs. Forecast: A Subtle But Important Change to Scrum
www.scrum.org
One of the most controversial updates to the 2011 Scrum Guide has been the removal of the term “commit” in favor of “forecast” in regards to the work selected for a Sprint. We used to say that the Development Team commits to which Product Backlog Items it will deliver by the end of the Sprint. Scrum now encourages the Development Team to forecast which Product Backlog Items it will deliver by the end of the Sprint.

    The wording of “forecast” is kind of great, I think. It really underlines the true purpose of a sprint. But it is kind of sad that this “play of words” is even necessary. It really shows that a lot of the parties involved don’t yet understand why agility would even be a good idea. :/
