Planning a Sprint

Select tickets, define a goal, and commit to a sprint scope.

Quick Reference

• Input: Prioritized backlog, team capacity, sprint duration.
• Output: Sprint plan with selected tickets, sprint goal, capacity allocation.
• Rule: Don't overcommit — plan for ≤80% of theoretical capacity.

HARD-GATE

DO NOT commit more than the team's historical velocity.
DO NOT select tickets with unresolved dependencies or unclear acceptance criteria.
DO set a single, clear sprint goal that every selected ticket supports.
