One of the main contributions from Scrum to the software development community is the conscience that has been created about obtaining a tangible deliverable product at the end of each sprint. In theory, the potentially shippable product should be ready for shipping at the end of each sprint, given that if you can find a client willing to buy a product that works with limited functionality.

Theory contradicts reality in many occasions because the team hasn’t implemented enough functionality or this has not been completely tested to be considered as a valuable product that can be delivered to clients.
