> commitment

I am convinced that when people talk about burnout from trying to hit sprint goals, it's because of this word, and either being coerced one way or another into commitments they can't meet, or not having enough information or experience to judge what a reasonable commitment is.

It was recently changed in the Scrum Guide from "forecast", which is much more reasonable: you can track forecasts over time to improve them, and nobody expects a forecast to be bang on the money every time. "Commitment" doesn't work that way.
