Before the squad Sprint Planning meeting happens, the following activities should be completed so that the meeting can run smoothly.
-
PO Chooses tickets from the backlog and puts them into the next sprint in priority order.
-
The number of tickets chosen should be more than would be able to be accepted, in case some of the tickets are rejected from the sprint (not ready, blocked, etc)
-
PO Reviews tickets and ensures that the tickets have the required details.
-
Ticket Estimation sessions should be run to get estimates for the tickets in advance of the sprint planning.
-
Capacity planning should be updated with any planned leave, and the points achieved in the previous sprint (normally entered just before sprint planning in the sprint review).
