Most newbie agile teams over-commit, and they work on stories that are too big. Find ways to divide the work into small chunks or threads. Make sure testing estimates are included in story estimates. Sometimes features take longer to test than to code! When you see a story that looks too big, ask if it can be divided up. Sometimes the smaller piece may not deliver much business value, but the team needs to focus on getting one small story done at a time, including all the testing activities.
