When we have compound Sprint Goals (e.g. achieve X and Y and Z), we are splitting focus and not allowing much flexibility.
Because of:
๐น We are working on multiple unrelated projects or initiatives.
๐น We try to encompass every Product Backlog Item (PBI).
๐น We think the team may not work as hard if the challenge isn't big enough. #distrust

๐น During Sprint Planning, ask "How will we know if we have achieved the Sprint Goal?
๐น Make the Sprint Goal measurable.
๐น Confirm everyone's understanding and commitment to the Sprint Goal.

๐น Make it visible.
๐น Talk about progress towards the Sprint Goal in the Daily Scrum.
๐น Make the Sprint Goal a team measure and keep it visible in the team space. (Achieving a Sprint Goal is pass/ fail. There is no such thing as 85% achieved.)

A Sprint Goal is supposed to provide a purpose.
This is a driver for intrinsic motivation.
๐น Make it business or user-focused when possible. (What will a user be able to do when we implement this feature? What will a business area be able to achieve when we implement an enhancement?)
๐น Make it focused on testing business assumptions and getting feedback. (Know what users need or are willing to do. Get early feedback to test assumptions.)
๐น Make it focused on reducing risk. (If we learn about risk: the earlier we change direction, the cheaper the cost of the change.)
