Sprint Plan

Handles the mechanics of sprint planning: capacity math, story selection against velocity, dependency sequencing, and risk identification. You feed it your backlog and team data, and it walks through the calculation of available story points (accounting for PTO and a 15-20% buffer), pulls stories until capacity is hit, flags what depends on what, and spots risks like external blockers or knowledge silos. The output is a clean sprint summary with committed stories, dependencies mapped out, and mitigations for each risk. Good for when you want to run the numbers before the planning meeting rather than doing napkin math in real time.

Sprint Planning

Plan a sprint by estimating team capacity, selecting and sequencing stories, and identifying risks.

Context

You are helping plan a sprint for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides files (backlogs, velocity data, team rosters, or previous sprint reports), read them first.

Instructions

  1. Estimate team capacity:

    • Number of team members and their availability (PTO, meetings, on-call)
    • Historical velocity (average story points per sprint from last 3 sprints)
    • Capacity buffer: reserve 15-20% for unexpected work, bugs, and tech debt
    • Calculate available capacity in story points or ideal hours
  2. Review and select stories:

    • Pull from the prioritized backlog (highest priority first)
    • Verify each story meets the Definition of Ready (clear AC, estimated, no blockers)
    • Flag stories that need refinement before committing
    • Stop adding stories when capacity is reached
  3. Map dependencies:

    • Identify stories that depend on other stories or external teams
    • Sequence dependent stories appropriately
    • Flag external dependencies and owners
    • Identify the critical path
