Just take on fewer points per sprint, if you can't make it every time? Scrum is about becoming predictable, not being the absolute fastest. That's been my experience, anyway. If your PO is pressuring you to take on more, you say "no", because that's your responsibility, not his.
But maybe that's just me.
Yeah wtf is happening here where the data shows you have a story point average and you boss is like, can we go higher?
Like no?
We are reasonably consistent with estimates, but there's this hidden assumption that 1 point equals 1 developer day. So even though we consistently get 20-25 points done per sprint, we typically cram more items to meet that 30 point threshold.
Oh, and of course you may end up dragging items sprint to sprint if they don't get finished.
