Most Agile leaders trust Jira to tell them the truth about delivery progress.
But in SAP landscapes, that trust is often misplaced.
A user story can be marked “Done” in Jira while the related SAP transport is still unreleased, waiting in a manual queue, or blocked by sequencing issues. On paper, the sprint looks healthy. In reality, the change isn’t deployable.
This gap is where Agile turns into theater.
Until the definition of Done includes transport readiness, sprint reports hide risk instead of exposing it. Technical debt doesn’t disappear it just gets deferred to cutover.
