This is a pull system...we start something when we finish something else.
This is not a pull system. The team agrees upfront to a batch of work for the month. This is often rationalized because 1) “people will be lazy with the time constraint” and 2) it gives the team “something to shoot for”
#scrum, in theory, focuses on a sprint goal. The team is empowered to adjust scope to achieve the goal (vs. finish a predetermined set of stories).
In practice, many sprints end up like this. The “goal” is a series of stories. Often dependent on each other.
