Sprint Planning

Sprint Planning is an important event in the Scrum framework that is used to plan the work for the upcoming Sprint. It takes place at the beginning of each Sprint and is divided into two parts: Sprint Planning 1 and Sprint Planning 2.

Here is an overview of the two parts of Sprint Planning:

Sprint Planning 1:

  • Objective: The goal of Sprint Planning 1 is to understand which tasks should be accomplished during the upcoming Sprint and which requirements have been prioritized by the Product Owner.

  • Participants: The entire Scrum Team, including the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team, participates in this meeting.

  • Results: By the end of Sprint Planning 1, the Development Team should have an understanding of the tasks and work to be done during the Sprint. The Development Team selects the tasks it wants to work on during the Sprint.

Sprint Planning 2:

  • Objective: Sprint Planning 2 is used to plan the selected tasks in more detail. The Development Team breaks down the selected tasks into smaller sub-tasks and estimates the effort required for each task.

  • Participants: Typically, only the Development Team participates in Sprint Planning 2. The Product Owner and Scrum Master may attend if they wish to contribute but are not mandatory.

  • Results: By the end of Sprint Planning 2, the Development Team should have a clear understanding of how the selected tasks will be implemented. It creates a Sprint backlog that includes the planned tasks for the Sprint along with estimates for the efforts required.

Sprint Planning provides an opportunity for the Scrum Team to collaboratively plan how it will implement the Product Owner's requirements in a specific Sprint. It enhances predictability and planning of work during the Sprint and fosters teamwork within the team.
