Sprint Planning is a meeting held at the beginning of each sprint where the development team collaborates with the product owner to plan work for the upcoming iteration. This meeting sets clear goals and expectations for what will be accomplished during the sprint.
Key Activities:
- Reviewing Backlogs: Teams assess items from the product backlog for inclusion in the sprint.
- Estimating Effort: Team members estimate how much work each item will require.
- Defining Sprint Goals: Establishes clear objectives for what should be achieved by the end of the sprint.
Effective sprint planning ensures alignment between team capabilities and project goals, enhancing overall productivity.
