Quick Definition:
Sprint Planning is a ceremony in Scrum where the team decides what work they will complete during the upcoming sprint and how they will achieve it.
The Two Parts of Sprint Planning
- What: The Product Owner presents the highest-priority backlog items, and the team selects those they believe they can complete.
- How: The team breaks down the selected items into specific tasks and creates a plan for the sprint.
Key Success Factors
Ensure the backlog is refined before the meeting, set a clear sprint goal, and respect the team’s capacity and velocity.
