┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SPRINT PLANNING │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ STANDALONE (always works) │
│ ✓ Define sprint goals and success criteria │

What I Need From You

  • Team: Who's on the team and their availability this sprint?

  • Sprint length: How many days/weeks?

  • Backlog: What's prioritized? (Pull from tracker, paste, or describe)

  • Carryover: Anything unfinished from last sprint?

  • Dependencies: Anything blocked on other teams?

Tips

  • Leave buffer — Plan to 70-80% capacity. You will get interrupts.

  • One clear sprint goal — If you can't state it in one sentence, the sprint is unfocused.

  • Identify stretch items — Know what to cut if things take longer than expected.

  • Carry over honestly — If something didn't ship, understand why before re-committing.
