Sprint Planning

Come eseguirlo

1. 1

   Part 1 — What: the product owner presents the top backlog items. The team asks questions to understand each item fully. Together, select items that fit within the team's velocity.

2. 2

   Agree on a sprint goal: one sentence capturing the purpose of the sprint.

3. 3

   Part 2 — How: the team breaks selected items into tasks. Estimate effort if not already done (Planning Poker).

4. 4

   Check the total estimated work against team capacity (accounting for meetings, leave, etc.).

5. 5

   Adjust the scope if the sprint is over-committed.

6. 6

   The team commits to the sprint goal (not necessarily every single ticket).

7. 7

   Update the sprint board and begin.

Suggerimenti

• The sprint goal is the anchor — when unexpected work arrives mid-sprint, the goal guides trade-off decisions.

• Never let sprint planning become a negotiation between the team and management about how much work can be squeezed in.

Variazioni

Run a 'Sprint Zero' for brand new teams: focus entirely on setup, agreements, and tooling rather than delivery. For Kanban teams, run a 'Replenishment Meeting' instead.
