how to have the old Story point and the new story point in the sprint on sprint

[Kavitha Kandula]

Hi,

I have a user story which is 5 S.P and it was not completed the testing by the end of the sprint.

I have a 2 questions.

1)Since the user story is not completed ,i moved the user story to next sprint .Now the            testing effort is SP is 3 .Then how  do i now the total SP that was required to complete the      SP.

Also when this story is completed .Can i put the S.P as 8 for the user story.Where will i store the original S.P

2) Is there any way i can add the S.P done for the development in the previous sprint  though the user story is not completed .

Thanks,

Kavitha

There is no way to do this, because it is absolutely not Scrum, and makes sprints pointless.

In a sprint, you commit to doing a set of stories.  At the end of the sprint, you have either delivered each story or you have not.  There is no partial completion, that's useless to the end-user, it's either done or it is not. 

So, your story points only get counted on "done".  You can't get any useful measure of the sprint out if you are saying "partial" on things.

If you feel the need to split things up as you describe, then you should split your stories up, ideally before starting the sprint.

Hi @Kavitha Kandula,

I think there is no concept of partial completion in Scrum, and unfinished stories and story points are removed from the current iteration and counted into the next iteration
