Sustainable Pace

The steady level of effort a team can keep up comfortably over time without burnout. Maintaining this cadence boosts employee satisfaction and stability, improves estimation accuracy, and ultimately increases customer satisfaction.

Key Points

  • Work at a consistent, maintainable rate rather than relying on sustained overtime.
  • Supports morale and team retention, reducing burnout and turnover.
  • Improves quality and predictability, leading to more accurate estimates.
  • Drives customer satisfaction through stable delivery and fewer defects.

Example

A Scrum team caps its work each sprint to what it can reliably complete during normal hours. When defects and fatigue rise, the team and Product Owner adjust scope and prioritize, restoring a consistent 30-story-point velocity and improving quality and predictability for stakeholders.

PMP Example Question

An Agile team has been working nights to meet sprint commitments. Defects are increasing and morale is dropping. What should the project manager do first?

  1. Encourage the team to continue overtime until the release is finished.
  2. Work with the Product Owner to reduce scope and replan to restore a sustainable pace.
  3. Raise the velocity target next sprint to motivate higher output.
  4. Bring in contractors mid-sprint to immediately increase capacity.

Correct Answer: B — Adjust scope and planning to return to a sustainable pace

Explanation: Sustainable pace prioritizes long-term health, quality, and predictability. Reducing scope and replanning is better than forcing ongoing overtime.
