SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often start Sprints without a clear objective, overcommit beyond their velocity, or pull in unrefined backlog items, leading to missed commitments and spillover. This Skill structures the Sprint Planning event so the team commits to a coherent, capacity-bounded Sprint with a measurable goal. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sprint Goal Definition: Guides creation of a single, measurable, business-focused Sprint Goal that unifies the selected backlog items. - Capacity-Bounded Selection: Selects prioritized Product Backlog items whose story point total stays within the team's historical velocity, enforcing pull over push. - Estimation & Decomposition: Applies Fibonacci story point estimation (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) and task breakdown into units of one day or less, flagging 13-point items for splitting. - Use Case: At the start of a Sprint for an e-commerce checkout increment, use this Skill to review refined user stories, set a goal like "the buyer can complete a purchase end-to-end with Mercado Pago", estimate each story, and confirm the total fits the team's velocity. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run sprint planning for the upcoming Sprint using the prioritized user stories in the backlog and the team's velocity from the last three Sprints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a Scrum Sprint Planning meeting?▼

Sprint Planning answers three questions: why the Sprint is valuable (Sprint Goal), what can be delivered (backlog selection), and how the work gets done (task breakdown). Select refined items up to team velocity, decompose them into tasks of one day or less, and confirm the commitment by team pull.

How to estimate user stories with story points?▼

Estimate relatively using the Fibonacci sequence 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 rather than hours. Items of 1-5 points are Sprint-ready, 8 points should be considered for splitting, and 13 points must be decomposed before entering a Sprint.

What is a good Sprint Goal in Scrum?▼

A good Sprint Goal is unique, measurable, and expressed in business value rather than technical tasks. For example, "the buyer can complete a purchase end-to-end paying with Mercado Pago" unifies cart, checkout, and payment stories under one verifiable objective.

When should a backlog item not enter Sprint Planning?▼

An item should not enter planning if it fails the Definition of Ready, is estimated at 13 points without decomposition, or the backlog is unprioritized. In those cases, return to backlog refinement before committing.

Why does a team keep missing its Sprint commitments?▼

Missed commitments usually come from overcommitting beyond historical velocity, forcing unrefined items into the Sprint, or planning without a unifying Sprint Goal. Cap the selection at velocity and verify every item meets the Definition of Ready.
