Agenda of Iteration Planning
The agenda of an iteration planning meeting typically includes the following steps:
- Welcome and Introduction: The meeting begins with a brief welcome and introduction by the scrum master, setting the stage for the planning session and establishing a positive and collaborative atmosphere.
- Review of Sprint Goal: The product owner or scrum master reviews the sprint goal, a concise statement of what the team aims to achieve by the end of the iteration. This provides context for the planning session and ensures that the team remains focused on the overall objective.
- Review of Product Backlog: The team reviews the prioritized items in the product backlog, discussing their requirements, acceptance criteria, and any dependencies or constraints. This helps the team understand the scope of work available for the iteration and identify which backlog items to work on.
- Selection of Backlog Items: Based on the sprint goal and the team’s capacity, the team collectively selects a subset of backlog items to work on during the iteration. This involves discussing the relative priority of backlog items and considering their complexity and dependencies.
- Task Breakdown and Estimation: The team breaks down selected backlog items into smaller, more manageable tasks and estimates the effort required to complete each task. This helps the team understand the work involved and ensures that tasks are well-defined and achievable within the iteration.
- Assignment of Tasks: Tasks are assigned to individual team members based on their skills, availability, and capacity. This ensures a balanced workload and clarity around responsibilities.
- Definition of Done: The team reviews the definition of done, a set of criteria that must be met for a task to be considered complete. This ensures that the team delivers high-quality work that meets the agreed-upon standards and expectations.
- Confirmation and Commitment: The team confirms their commitment to completing the selected backlog items during the iteration. This involves ensuring that everyone understands their tasks and responsibilities and agrees to the plan.
Iteration Planning
Iteration planning is generally a process of adapting as the project unfolds by making alterations to plans. Plans are changed simply based on feedback from the monitoring process, some changes on project assumptions, risks, and changes in scope, budget, or schedule. It is essential to include the team in the planning process. Planning is generally concerned with explaining and defining the actual sequence of intermediate results. It is an event where each team member identifies how much of the team backlog, they can commit to delivering during an upcoming iteration.
