Sprint Planning

A Scrum event where the Scrum Team jointly decides what they will accomplish in the upcoming sprint and how they will approach the work.

Key Points

  • Occurs at the start of each sprint and involves the whole Scrum Team (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers).
  • Sets a clear Sprint Goal and selects Product Backlog items that support that goal.
  • Developers craft a workable plan (the Sprint Backlog), considering capacity, risks, and past velocity.
  • Timeboxed event (commonly up to 8 hours for a one-month sprint; proportionally shorter for shorter sprints).

Example

At the kickoff of a two-week sprint, the Product Owner reviews the top Product Backlog items. The team agrees on a Sprint Goal: "Enable guest checkout." They choose related backlog items, break them into tasks, estimate effort, confirm capacity, and document the plan as the Sprint Backlog.

PMP Example Question

What is the primary outcome of Sprint Planning?

  1. A detailed Gantt chart for the next release
  2. A Sprint Goal and a Sprint Backlog describing the plan for the sprint
  3. A finalized Product Increment
  4. A fully prioritized Product Backlog for the project

Correct Answer: B - A Sprint Goal and a Sprint Backlog

Explanation: Sprint Planning results in a shared goal and a plan (selected items and approach) that the team believes it can complete in the sprint.
