Sprint Planning
Sprint Planning is a key event in Agile and Scrum methodologies where the development team, product owner, and Scrum Master collaborate to define the work to be completed in the upcoming sprint. It involves selecting items from the product backlog, breaking them down into tasks, and estimating effort to create a sprint backlog with a clear goal. This meeting ensures alignment on priorities and sets the team up for a focused, time-boxed iteration of work.
Developers should learn and use Sprint Planning to improve project predictability, team collaboration, and delivery efficiency in Agile environments. It is essential for managing scope, preventing scope creep, and ensuring that the team commits to a realistic amount of work based on capacity and velocity. Use cases include software development projects, product launches, and any iterative work where regular delivery and feedback are critical.
