If you are an engineering or product leader that has worked in an agile/scrum shop, you know the rollercoaster that comes with sprint planning meetings.
As both a participant and a leader, I've been in the trenches and witnessed various approaches to sprint planning—some more effective than others. All too often though, I’ve seen these meetings devolve into chaos, resulting in misaligned priorities and a waste of valuable time.
Through countless iterations and learnings, I’ve developed a process that has helped teams regain focus, enhance collaboration, and achieve great outcomes.
I recently decided to write down those learnings which I'm excited to share in my latest blog post. I cover:
- Four underlying principles that drive successful sprint planning.
- Essential prerequisites to ensure smooth execution.
- Tactical steps to streamline your sprint planning process.
Would love to hear feedback and what has worked well for you when it comes to your agile planning process!
