I'm frankly puzzled how SCRUM sprints are even expected to work with a development + QA cycle.
When a sprint starts, what QAs people are expected to do ? When the developers finish, and QAs start testing, what developers are expected to do ?
It seems to me that this forced synchronization is just pointless and harmful.
Where I work, we handle "sprints" just like checkpoints. This is in developing stage, this is in testing, this is done. It's expected that almost everything spans more sprints.
