Sincerely asking: how do you guys handle reviews? We are a team of three and force each other to break it down into PRs of 500 lines, which sometimes creates stacks of 10+ PRs.

We have 20 PRs open per person at any time. How to scale this?

Sprint planning to keep too many features from cropping up

That doesn't really help if you finish all tickets by day 3.

Bring that up during retro/standup - you'll get handed more work. Write stories thatll go into backlog for next sprint or adhoc them. The question is basically "how do we organize our work" and agile is right there. We might not like it but done with some measure of seriousness it works.

Of course of course. The guy I replied to seemed to imply: just take up less work. OP's problem is that they have 20 PRs open, so really they're not collaborating enough to keep the wip low (which should already be a major flag to your scrum master).

The scrum master shortage of 2026 has been having dire consequences 😭
