What is Sprint Planning?

A ceremony where the team defines what work will be completed in the next sprint iteration.

Sprint planning is an agile ceremony where the team collaboratively selects and plans the work to be completed during the upcoming sprint (typically 1-4 weeks). The team reviews prioritized backlog items, estimates effort, identifies dependencies, and commits to a sprint goal. Effective sprint planning connects team-level execution to higher-level initiative priorities, ensuring that day-to-day work advances strategic transformation goals.
