How to interpret this report

Understanding and tracking sprint goals is beneficial to all members of the team. The more sprint goals are met, the better focus, communication, prioritization, and flexibility a team is demonstrating. Conversely, not meeting the majority of sprint goals is an indication that effective teamwork is not taking place, and steps should be taken to get the team back on track.
