Totally!
- How do you know you need 14 endpoints?
- What do they do?
- Do you need them all delivered in one go? Why?
- Can you make something, useful to the bulk of your users, with three or four endpoints?
- Who uses the endpoints? Can they do some of their work whilst you make your endpoints?
- What goes over these endpoints?
All these, and more, affect how you build and what you build. Scrum, and agile in general, should help you organise the work (where "work" includes planning, design, collaboration, as well as build and release), and gives you space to improve the quality of the work (when it's done well).
