Sprint Planning Meeting

A planning session held at the start of each Sprint to update the Sprint Backlog. For a month-long Sprint it is capped at eight hours and is split into two parts: first to agree on the Sprint Objective, then to break work into tasks and estimate them.

Key Points

  • Occurs at the start of the Sprint and results in a clear Sprint Goal and an updated Sprint Backlog.
  • Time-boxed to 8 hours for a one-month Sprint, scaling proportionally for shorter Sprints.
  • Two segments: define the Sprint Objective, then decompose selected items into tasks with estimates.
  • Product Owner clarifies priorities, Developers select and plan work, Scrum Master facilitates the event.

Example

At the beginning of a two-week Sprint, the team meets for about four hours. They select the highest-value backlog items, agree on a Sprint Goal to enable one-click checkout, and then break those items into tasks with hour estimates, updating the Sprint Backlog accordingly.
