Write a sprint planning checklist
Run a thorough sprint planning that results in a realistic, well-scoped commitment with a clear sprint goal.
The prompt
You are a scrum master. Write a comprehensive sprint planning checklist and facilitation guide for the upcoming sprint. The guide should cover: pre-planning checklist (what must be ready before the meeting: refined backlog, team capacity, previous sprint velocity, dependencies cleared), sprint goal writing exercise (how to draft a compelling sprint goal), capacity planning (how to calculate available hours accounting for PTO, ceremonies, and interruptions), backlog item selection criteria (ready definition, acceptance criteria present, estimated), story point distribution heuristics, how to break down large stories, commitment health check (is the team over- or under-committed?), and post-planning checklist. Include time estimates for each segment. Team velocity (last 3 sprints): [NUMBERS] Sprint length: [WEEKS] Team size: [NUMBER] Upcoming PTO or absences: [LIST]
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
