Sprint Planning

Sprint Planning is an opportunity for the Scrum Team to plan the features in the current Sprint cycle. The plan is created mainly by the developers. Once the plan is created, it is explained to the Scrum Master and the Product Owner. The Sprint Planning is a timeboxed activity, and it is usually around eight hours in total for a one-month Sprint cycle. It is the responsibility of the Scrum Master to ensure everyone participates in the Sprint Planning activity.

In the meeting, the Development Team takes into consideration the following items:

• The number of Product Backlogs to be worked on (both new and the old ones from the last Sprint).
• Team performances in the last Sprint.
• Projected capacity of the Development Team.
