Frequently Asked Questions

Start with sprint goal (what outcome you're targeting). Pull items from the prioritized backlog. Estimate capacity, not velocity. Leave buffer for unknowns (15-20%). End with clear commitments and owners.

Commit to 70-80% of capacity. Over-commitment leads to burnout and carryover. Under-commitment wastes potential. Track velocity over time to calibrate. It's better to finish early than carry over.

Grooming prepares items (clarifying requirements, estimating, splitting stories). Planning selects items for the sprint and confirms commitment. Grooming is ongoing; planning happens at sprint start.
