Access sprint planning templates to streamline Agile project management, enhance team alignment, and set clear sprint goals
Sprint planning meetings are essential for successful Agile project management. They bring together the entire Scrum team—including the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team—to collaboratively define the goals and workload for the upcoming sprint. During Sprint Planning, the team reviews and selects high-priority items from the product backlog, breaking them down into manageable tasks and estimating the effort required.
Here are some key things to keep in mind while having a successful sprint planning session
We’ve put together a sprint planning meeting template based on these key nuances; feel free to duplicate it and make it your own. View and duplicate the sprint planning meeting template
During a Sprint planning meeting, the team focuses on two main questions: "What can be delivered in the upcoming sprint?" and "How will the chosen work be achieved?" By the end of Sprint Planning, the team should have a clear sprint goal, a sprint backlog of selected items, and a shared understanding of how they'll work together to achieve their objectives. This collaborative planning process enhances team alignment, improves work prioritization, and sets the stage for a focused and productive sprint.
We understand that meetings aren’t just a time block. There are a plethora of pre-, in, and post-meeting tasks involved in driving an effective meeting. And how significant post-meeting actions and follow-ups are.
That’s why we are building the Video Calling App - it helps product and engineering teams capture meeting context, automate tasks, and focus on high-impact work.
With VCA action items and integrations, you can directly create tasks in a click and add updates on Linear/Jira or other project management tools from your discussions. Additionally, you can block time for them and GitHub PRs to better plan your day.
We are still in the early stages and rolling out access every day. If that sounds interesting, join the waitlist or fill out this form, and we’ll be in touch super soon.
