Sprint Planning

Scrum event that initiates the Sprint by laying out the work to be performed.

Definition

It addresses three topics: why this Sprint is valuable (Sprint Goal), what can be done (selecting Product Backlog items), and how the work will get done (planning the work). Timeboxed to 8 hours for a one-month Sprint.

Example

The team crafts a Sprint Goal, selects 9 items, and decomposes the first few into tasks.

Exam tip

The whole Scrum Team crafts the Sprint Goal; Developers decide how much work to select.
