Finishing an iteration early
I’d like some input on this on those working with agile methodologies…
What to do when a sprint is finished early?

Handling unexpected features during sprint
Our team is going to adopt scrum and agile technics. We’ve got a product, which we develop for multiple customers. This customers supplied us with necessary requirements, so everithing is fine to adopt agile techinics.
Can we pull future user stories in current sprint?
Suppose we have estimated 5 user stories to complete in a sprint and completed all of them with testing, buffer time and for expected bugs.
How to time the sprints in Scrum to allocate time for TDD?
We have sprints of 4 weeks duration. What I have been doing is 3 weeks dev time and 1 week of pure manual/automated testing, stabilization and shipment assurance testing.
Scrum: Short VS long sprint
We were trying to figure out the optimal sprint length for our project. After working on a 3-weeks basis we thought that cutting the sprint to 2-weeks would provide better velocity.
Is it possible to shuffle team in between a sprint?
We are working on scrum framework. Now a situation arise that we have to shuffle 2-3 scrum team members in between sprints.
Tracking progress via a burndown chart when sprints overlap
Our team has adopted some agile practices to help us develop and deliver our software to our client. We adopt practices as needed (as problems/challenges were identified) rather than jumping wholesale into the agile camp. The big ones for us are maintaining a product and sprint backlog and developing and delivering new versions in roughly one month sprints. We do estimate the items in our sprint backlog to guesstimate what we can deliver within a sprint. However we do not track progress very well so it’s difficult to know whether or not we are on target.

Sprint item takes longer then expected to be completed. What should we do?
What should we do if a item in scrum takes longer then expected? i am asking this because i have been noticing items that developers is struggling to complete as it is much tougher then initially thought.
