Day 12 / 100 · Scrum done right · Sprint planning that works

Why, what, how. In that order.

Sprint Planning answers three questions. Teams that start with “what” end up with a list. Teams that start with “why” end up with a goal.

Why

The Sprint Goal

“What's the most valuable thing we can achieve this sprint?”

The Product Owner proposes. The team shapes it.

What

The Work

“Which items get us to that goal, given our real capacity?”

Leave, public holidays and support load included.

How

The Plan

“How will we build it? Plan the first few days in detail.”

The Developers own this part.
