Sprint Planning

Plan a sprint: scope work, estimate capacity, set goals, handle carryover.

sprint agile capacity backlog

When to use

Use when kicking off a new sprint, sizing a backlog against team availability (accounting for PTO and meetings), deciding what's P0 vs. stretch, or handling carryover from the last sprint. Produces a sprint plan with goals and capacity breakdown.

Examples

Plan a two-week sprint

Scope a sprint given capacity and backlog

Help me plan Sprint 24. We have 4 engineers, 2 weeks, 3 days of PTO. Here are the backlog items with estimates...

Prioritize P0 vs. stretch

Decide what must ship vs. what can slip

We have 42 points of backlog and 30 points of capacity. Help me decide what's P0 and what moves to stretch or next sprint.

Handle carryover

Address unfinished work from the previous sprint

We have 8 points of carryover from Sprint 23. Help me decide whether to pull them into Sprint 24 or re-prioritize.
