PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Mid-sprint scope-creep guard from GitHub issues
When a new issue is added to the current sprint milestone in GitHub, it checks whether mid-sprint additions have pushed total scope beyond the original commitment and alerts…
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerGitHub issue added to active milestoneGitHub
- ActionRead milestone issues with labels and added datesGitHub
- LogicSeparate kickoff baseline from post-start additions
- LogicBudget check: total scope vs. commitment + buffer
- OutputPost scope-creep alert to DiscordDiscord
What it does
It watches the active GitHub milestone and, each time an issue is added after the sprint started, recalculates total scope against the baseline captured at sprint kickoff. When mid-sprint additions push scope past the committed budget, it posts a scope-creep alert naming the newly added items.
When to use it
Use it when scope quietly grows after a sprint is committed and the team only realizes at the end that they were set up to spill. This makes every late addition visible against the original plan in real time.
How it works
- 1An issue-added-to-milestone event in GitHub triggers the run.
- 2It reads the milestone's full issue list with labels and added dates.
- 3It separates issues present at kickoff from those added after the sprint start date.
- 4A budget check compares current total scope against the baseline commitment plus an allowed buffer.
- 5If within budget, it logs and exits; if over, it compiles the offending additions.
- 6It posts a scope-creep alert to the team Discord channel with the items and the overage.
