An Impediment (or Block) is an obstacle that prevents User Story/Task/Bug completion. For example, you may have Impediments such as these:

  • New server for performance testing will be purchased Jan-20, so we are unable to start testing till that date for now
  • Teddy Bear left the company and complex user story "Patterns recognition algorithm" can't be implemented by any person on our team. This task needs highly specialized knowledge.
