sprint-plan

The sprint-plan command guides teams through structured sprint planning by establishing parameters like duration and team capacity, analyzing prioritized backlog items for dependencies and carryover work, calculating available person-days after accounting for meetings and time off, and selecting work items in priority order while respecting capacity limits and ensuring focus on sprint goals. Use this command at the start of each sprint cycle to create a realistic, balanced sprint backlog with clear ownership and dependency tracking.

Guide sprint planning:

1. **Set sprint parameters:**
   - Duration (default: 2 weeks)
   - Team capacity (members x available days)
   - Sprint goal — one sentence describing the sprint's north star
2. **Analyze the backlog:**
   - Review prioritized items (use RICE scores if available)
   - Check for items blocked by dependencies
   - Identify carry-over items from previous sprint
3. **Estimate capacity:**
   - Total person-days available
   - Subtract: meetings, on-call, PTO, buffer (typically 20%)
   - Convert to story points or task count based on team velocity
4. **Select sprint items:**
   - Fill sprint backlog from highest priority down
   - Respect capacity limits — do not overcommit
   - Ensure at least 60% of capacity goes to sprint goal items
   - Include 1-2 tech debt items if capacity allows
5. **Identify dependencies:**
   - Cross-team dependencies with owners and dates
   - External blockers with escalation paths
6. **Output sprint plan:**
   - Sprint goal
   - Selected items with estimates and owners
   - Capacity utilization percentage
   - Dependency map
   - Risks and mitigations
