Sprint Planning by Piera Mattioli
The Sprint Planning board has been designed to enable every person or team to have a structured way of working and to achieve specific goals by defining weekly/ biweekly/ monthly tasks, and by creating moments of reflections.
How to set up the Sprint Planning board:
1. Define your workstreams/ projects, make it visual and select an icon to easily recognize it!
2. For each workstream/ project write down the goal you are trying to achieve;
3. How will you measure success? Define key results for each workstream/ project;
4. If needed prioritize workstreams/ projects.
How to run your Sprint Planning meeting:
1. Define your cadence, you might have Sprint Planning weekly, biweekly or monthly. If in a team, assign a team member to facilitate the meeting;
2. Always take the time to reflect on the previous Sprint, only by cultivating this habit you can improve your way of working!
3. Design your agenda and make it fun for the people to participate by adding an ice breaker that can foster connection!
