Troubleshooting
Yaygın Hatalar & Çözümler
| Hata | Olası Sebep | Çözüm |
|------|-------------|-------|
| Sprint overcommitment | Unrealistic capacity | Track velocity, be honest |
| Carryover stories | Scope creep | Stricter acceptance |
| Long standups | Too much detail | Time-box, parking lot |
| No retro action | No ownership | Assign owners, follow up |
Debug Checklist
[ ] Sprint goal clearly defined mi?
[ ] Stories properly sized mi?
[ ] WIP limits respected mi?
[ ] Retro actions implemented mi?
[ ] Velocity tracked mi?
Recovery Procedures
- Sprint Failure → Retrospective deep-dive, reset
- Team Burnout → Reduce scope, add slack time
- Velocity Drop → Investigate blockers, 1:1s
Learning Outcomes
- Run effective sprints
- Write well-formed user stories
- Manage backlogs efficiently
- Facilitate productive ceremonies
- Track and improve velocity

Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
