Sprint Goals Meet Management Scope Creep

Description

The image uses a dramatic classical painting of people struggling in a boat on rough water while figures outside the boat pull at them and one raises an arm. Large white impact text at the top reads, "WHEN THE DEV TEAM IS JUST TRYING TO CRUSH THE SPRINT". The bottom text reads, "AND MANAGEMENT WON'T STOP ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL WORK". The meme maps the boat's struggle onto a dev team trying to finish committed sprint work while management keeps introducing extra requests, a classic Agile scope-creep and prioritization failure.
