Ihad a prepaid sprint mnvo that I found out recently that they're now using Tmobile towers and the phone I had wasn't compatible but that's the only thing. Luckily I could use one of my old Tmobile phones.

i have had to do two sim card changes since the merger..the first one was to the R15 sim card...then about a month ago switched to a different sim card..by chance do you happen to know which sim card you have in your phone?


I still have the same ongoing issues. I use my phone for personal and work related tasks and this T-Mobile service is a joke. What am I paying for? A headache? Stress? Terrible Service? All of the above.


I recently switched from Verizon to T-Mobile with the Magenta Max 55+ Plan. I ported my Verizon number and kept my Apple iPhone 14 Pro. So far, I am very pleased with the service. I live in the outskirts of Tampa, FL where many Verizon towers were overloaded and I had trouble getting a usable signal for data, No so with T-Mobile and I am saving $30/month! I believe that many of the problems people are experiencing with the T-Mobile service are related to equipment. I would recommend purchasing a new unlocked phone, as I did when I was with Verizon, from Apple. I can take my phone to any carrier because the iPhone 14 Pro supports all the latest and legacy frequencies out there. Apple has very good trade in plans and zero cost financing. Other manufacturers may have similar plans and when you purchase from the manufacturer you are not locked into a specific carrier.


My problem is that all the texting and data permission and limits have gone away since T-Mobile took over. In the last week I have lost $1000 to a Nigerian romance scammer that has been preying on my elderly mother for the last 3 years. Forst lost $500 via an Apple gift card she gave away, then I had to suspend her number. It then resumed and then lost another $500 and yesterday suspended the number again. With Sprint, I could remotely turn off texting and data so the scammers couldn't get through. Scam Shield blocker app is a joke and having to pay for something to stop criminal activity seems ridiculous to me.


Same issue here. What's even more crazy in my case is when I called about it the first time the agent tells me that my plan was grandfathered in with sprint because I was a customer for over 20 years but that grandfathered plan, which I was extremely happy with, transferred over to Tmobile as an "inferior" plan. To get to an equal experience I have to pay more money to bump to a higher service plan. This was the main stipulation from the government to allow this merger to happen. Tmobile is not allowed to jack up service prices for a set time frame. This must be how a class action lawsuit gets started.


Same issue, when we moved from Sprint to T-Mobile my signal at home dropped two one bar and my text messages get stuck More than 70% of the time. When I spent an hour with support they told me to hard reset my phone back to factory defaults and reinstall everything using T-Mobile apps. This is unacceptable why do I need to delete all of my history text and voicemails for an issue that is clearly on their end.


I have had Sprint and the service and apps are different from T-Mobile. Sprint is not the same as T-Mobile. The services should not have merged for many obvious reasons. One being two contrasting providers using different apps, plans and services. My connectivity has gotten worse they merged. I know can only use VPN. I have to go to T-Mobile and figure out a solution with them. I don't want to have change plans that cost between $108 to $180.


Just using a simple /rest/api/3/search?jql=project=XXX AND sprint="Sprint 123" will give you all the items in a sprint. Adding &expand=changelog to the API call will give you the history for each item. You then need to iterate through each item.changelog.histories and for each of those iterate through histories.items - you can check the date of each change so you can work out what the last state change was before the end of the sprint.


The information matches closely with my experience, and gave me a reference point that I need as I push back on a global enterprise client that is dicing up the work into non-productive little elements.


The simplest decomposition of the work is probably the right one. Anything more or less will be sub-optimal. Obviously there are facets and nuances to what is simple. Practitioners can make individual judgements on that front.


Please let me know if there is any universally accepted standard or technique to map a story point to no of hours.

For example, map a story point to 4 hours or a story point is equal to 8 hours.

Is there any minimum or maximum limit on the no of hours a story point can be mapped to.

For example, a story point can never be less than 1 hour or greater than 3 hours.


I stumbled across this article in a search I was doing for the opposite problem. I am now a manager, and am struggling with the number of velocity points the developers are estimating for each user story. When I developed my team would typically do 30 to 40 user stories per developer per two week sprint. Later when I first pulled together a team and was directly over the team they throughput was similar. Now that I have become a manager of managers, I am getting story point estimates that I would have estimated at maybe an hours worth of work coming across with 3 or 4 days on the estimate. Other than firing everyone and getting new developers are there any resources for getting your team to perform faster?


In our team, estimations are based upon extremely experienced people, while most of the team consists of juniors. We take the average of the last 3 sprints and multiply by 1.5 to get something we never can do. But we want to be sure there is enough work for the sprint, so nobody has to wait for the next sprint to take any task.


I was put in charge of implementing Scrum in my Development Team. Unfortunately, the company I work with has a rather stale structure that does not go well with this framework. The team works on a project that several other teams use/depend on. Besides our own goals we have unexpected feature, integration, support or bugfix requests. Some of them can be filed in the Backlog and wait for their turn, but some absolutely have to be handled ASAP, or "in real time" as one of our clients put it.


The situation is far from ideal and I as the Scrum Master do not have the power to protect the Team from this kind of work. I am trying to make the best that I can from the situation we found ourselves in and get as much out of Scrum as possible.


Does manipulating the Sprint Backlog in such a broad scope make any sense? Sometimes we would have to move more than a half of our current Sprint Backlog back into Product Backlog to make room for all the on-demand requests.


Retrospect, retrospect, and retrospect some more. While the problem you describe exists to varying degrees on most scrum teams, don't settle with a band-aid solution. First understand, quantify, and make transparent the impact to your scrum team. Sometimes its better to do this without applying a pain killer...


As a scrum master you should feel empowered to tackle deep and/or long-term organizational problems outside of the immediate team(s) you serve. Why do so many ad-hoc requests come in? Is there a pattern, organizational structure(s), or certain people that agitate the issue? Use the retrospectives with your team combined with your time spent navigating and understanding the organization to get at the real root causes of why the problem arises.


Ashok provides one solution for the deeper problem - which sounds like a lack of higher level planning and coordination between teams. How you solve that problem will depend on your organizational structure and the root causes you identify.


I recently experienced exactly the same situation you are describing. While I'm not the Scrum Master for my team, I was the only person on the team who had used any Scrum methods previously. To solve the issue of things coming up and derailing the Sprint plan, we adopted a method we call 'The Batman' which, after some tweaking, has really worked for us.


Every week, one developer is 'The Batman'. They do not complete any Sprint tasks, but are instead made available to do 'whatever work comes up', all of those bug fixes, sudden requests, and "things that must be done now please". While the person who is Batman changes every week, there is always a 'Batman' available for general requests. Our small team rotates through a list, such that each developer spends one week as The Batman, and then two weeks focused on Sprint tasks. We identify the Batman by literally placing a Batman figurine on the desk of the individual filling the role. This makes it very easy for co-workers to correctly identify who is available to help them. Any person may approach the Batman and describe their problem or request. The Batman then makes a decision to either a) identify the task as something non-urgent and place it in the backlog or b) add it to their list and work on it at their next opportunity.


In the (unlikely) event that no such requests exist, The Batman can grab from the backlog for small tasks, or attend to code cleaning/documentation/other things that tend to get neglected. Any tasks the Batman performs still results in a tickets being created in our ticket system, and is 'pulled into Sprint' so that we can track the work, however we assign all 'Batman' tickets a zero story point value. This is because we do not count Batman tasks in our Sprint estimations. We use JIRA for our ticketing system, and while our 'Scope Change' chart shows disappointingly high values, ultimately it does not negatively affect our estimation or sprint planning. By putting a label on 'BatTasks', and assigning them zero story points, it makes it easy to determine what was from the original sprint and what was pulled in by the Batman.
