You're Already Using Continuous Flow (poorly) – Feedback Junkies

Here’s what really happens on these teams:

* On day one of sprint #1, someone introduces a bug. They don’t realize it, and it makes it way through the end of the sprint.
* On day one of sprint #2, a stakeholder happens to be playing around with the version of the product that was demoed for sprint #1. She notices the bug, and it’s critical, so she goes to the team lead and asks to have it fixed right away for the PR demo she’s doing on Thursday.
* The team lead and the stakeholder argue about process and deadlines for about an hour.
* The team lead then relents, branches the sprint #1 demo code. He works into the night to fix the bug, test it out, deploy the new version, test it out again, and merge the change into the trunk.
