Sprint Planning is the very first event of a Sprint when a Scrum team lays out the work to be performed during the Sprint. A team collaborates to establish a Sprint Goal. Agree on why would the sprint be valuable for the customer. The Team selects the Items from the Product Backlog to address the Sprint Goal and to make a plan on how to get the work done. If facilitated well, successful Sprint Planning is key to having a predictable flow of work and high team morale.
Please join us for a 2,5-hour hands-on mini-workshop to learn how to be of service to your Scrum Teams by facilitating effective Sprint Planning events. Practice facilitating Sprint Planning in small groups and get feedback from the Certified Agile Coaches and Trainers.
