What does "sprint planning" mean in programming?
sprint planning is one of the most common terms in software development. This guide explains what it means, how it is used in practice, and why it matters, with real examples from the developer world.
Definition
The Scrum ceremony at the start of each sprint where the team selects items from the backlog, breaks them down into tasks, and commits to what they will deliver. The product owner presents priorities and the team estimates effort. The output is the sprint goal and the sprint backlog.
Example
"In sprint planning we pulled six stories from the backlog. Two were too large and had to be broken down before we could commit."
