I am glad you pointed out the "Late-Breaking Decline" pattern. That's one that I missed in my "Five Signs of Trouble in an Iteration" article on Agile Advice (http://www.agileadvice.com/archives/2006/03/five_signs_of_t.html).

One reason for Flat-line (i.e., zero net progress) could be that the team did not report progress regularly or there was a vacation plan (or the team members did not turn up to work).

Do you advocate tying story points ONLY to true story development work? Or would you give points to defects, spikes, and other work not done at initial release planning? We seem to always have a constant creation of "things to do next week" and as coach & PM, I just don't know whether that's because we're new at this, or whether this 'smells' of something needing investigation/improvement?
