FAQ
How detailed should sprint planning be? +
Keep it lightweight. Define a clear goal, confirm scope, and surface risks and dependencies. Avoid planning work that won’t happen in the sprint.
How do we handle dependencies during planning? +
Identify them early, assign owners, and decide how you’ll unblock them. Dependencies are a primary cause of missed sprint goals.
What’s a simple way to estimate capacity? +
Start with available days, subtract planned time off and meetings, then compare to historical velocity. Adjust scope until it fits.
