The Eternal Sprint
Every product manager has lived this scene — you ask how long until a feature is done, and the answer is still “two sprints.” The same answer you got two sprints ago. Somewhere between optimism and scope creep, time becomes elastic. This meme isn’t just funny because it’s true — it’s a reminder that delivery drift usually hides behind unclear goals, moving priorities, or unvalidated assumptions. If “two sprints” keeps stretching, zoom out. Are we building the right thing? Did the scope quietly expand? Are dependencies blocking progress? The fix isn’t cracking the whip. It’s tightening alignment, cutting fluff, and making sure everyone shares the same definition of “done.” Clarity beats pressure every time. A good PM doesn’t chase deadlines — they chase understanding. Because when everyone sees the same finish line, “two sprints” actually means two sprints.
