Create an agenda for an Agile Sprint Planning meeting. Steps: 1. Review previous sprint metrics (Velocity). 2. Define sprint goal. 3. Backlog refinement (Prioritize user stories). 4. Task estimation (Story points/Poker). 5. Capacity planning (Team availability). 6. Assign ownership of tasks. 7. Identify risks and dependencies. 8. Q&A and final commitment vote. Include timeboxing per section.

Run effective sprint planning and backlog refinement sessions. Backlog grooming (weekly, 1 hour): 1. Review upcoming stories for clarity and completeness. 2. Add acceptance criteria and designs. 3. Estimate story points (Fibonacci sequence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8). 4. Identify dependencies and blockers. 5. Split large stories (>8 points) into smaller ones. Sprint planning (every 2 weeks, 2 hours): 1. Review sprint goal and team velocity. 2. Select stories totaling team's capacity. 3. Discuss implementation approach for complex stories. 4. Confirm Definition of Ready for all selected stories. 5. Create tasks and assign owners. Velocity tracking: average story points completed over last 3 sprints. Buffer: reserve 20% capacity for bugs and urgent items. Tools: Jira, Azure DevOps, Linear for story management.

Implement Scrum framework. Elements: 1. Product backlog (prioritized list). 2. Sprint planning (2-4 week sprints). 3. Daily standups (15 min sync). 4. Sprint review (demo to stakeholders). 5. Sprint retrospective (team improvement). 6. Roles (Product Owner, Scrum Master, Team). 7. Burndown charts. 8. Definition of Done. Use tools like Jira. Focus on delivering value incrementally. Adapt based on retros.
