Sprint Planning
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The meeting or process where a team decides what work to take into an upcoming sprint and how it will be approached. Good sprint planning aligns scope, capacity, and dependencies; bad sprint planning just creates optimistic wish lists.
In plain English: The process of choosing and organizing the work for the next sprint.
Example: "Sprint planning went faster once the stories had clear acceptance criteria and fewer hidden dependencies."
