Yes. I used sprints to prepare the deliverables with priorities. I marked which functionalities are must haves in the sprint as Commitment for the sprints. We then follow the updates during stand ups in the morning and based on progress and priorties we decide any course correction is needed. Eg. We had a customer priority coming in middle of the sprint, I descoped another task and added this task to the sprint.  I also prepare performance metrics which highlights the achievement of an engineer in a sprint. We record this in performance review discussions. This helps the engineers to know how things are and if any specific feedback need to be adressed by them.
