Scope realistically

Effective sprint planning starts with choosing a realistic amount of well-understood work, informed by the team’s capacity and past velocity.

Plan with context

Tasks make more sense when tied to the specs and discussion behind them, so the team estimates and commits with a clear understanding.

Track and adjust

Use a board to move work through stages, making progress and bottlenecks visible so the team can adjust mid-sprint.
