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.

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.

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.
