The sprint review & retrospective are often conflated, but these events differ in terms of their focus, meeting agenda, etc.

For PMs, failure to understand the distinction can result in misaligned teams. 🧵 ↓

Sprint planning is a quite simple process — so long as you have a perfectly groomed backlog.

Scrum relies on a refined backlog. Here's why an ungroomed backlog can doom your team from the outset. 🧵 ↓

As a PM, your responsibility goes beyond the development process. When releasing a new product, it's your job to coordinate the launch.

A product launch plan helps organize all the activities around this process. 🧵 ↓

The product lifecycle constantly evolves. Keeping everyone informed w/ a product roadmap is critical to getting the 360-degree buy-in you need to position your product for long-term success.

In #Agile, the daily scrum (aka daily standup), is a #scrum ceremony that occurs once each day of the sprint.

The daily scrum is a time-boxed event (15 mins) in which the team syncs & plans its activities for the day. #agilecoach #productmanagement

The golden rule for PMs to effectively run a sprint planning meeting: listen to your team. Developers know their capacity and the complexity of the work. Don’t challenge their expertise; if they say they can commit to 20 points, don’t push them to increase it to 25.

[LogRocket @LogRocket]

Best practices for sprint planning include:
• Estimate stories before sprint planning
• Account for unknowns in the committed work
• Coordinate dependencies with other teams
• Know your team's capacity for the upcoming sprint
• Anticipate unplanned work & know how to respond

[LogRocket @LogRocket]

Do you need to set a sprint goal? For new products, it’s tempting to set a goal to deliver all committed stories, but this puts your focus on output rather than outcomes. As long as you’re prioritizing the most critical work, you may be better off forgoing sprint goals entirely.

[LogRocket @LogRocket]

When prioritizing backlog items, discuss the business, user, & technical tradeoffs w/ the team. Don’t delay any future work that's blocked by the story you’re deprioritizing.

Below is a detailed example of a product backlog groomed & prioritized as a result of sprint planning:

[LogRocket @LogRocket]

After you’ve assessed the work & effort rolling over, the team can discuss new stories to pull in. As the PM, you define priority & provide context. The team decides how much it can complete. You may need to make tradeoff decisions; this is where your PM skills are critical.
