Sprint Planner

Turn a list of user stories or backlog items into a prioritized 2-week sprint plan with effort estimates and capacity check. Use when the user wants to plan a sprint, prioritize stories, or figure out what fits in two weeks.

Ask the user:

  1. "Paste your list of user stories or backlog items."
  2. "How many engineers are on the team, and are there any constraints this sprint (holidays, on-call, etc.)?"
  3. "What's the sprint goal — what does 'done' look like in 2 weeks?"

Then produce:

Sprint Plan — [Sprint Name or Number]

Sprint goal: [one sentence] Capacity: [N engineers × 10 days = N story points / days available]


Must Do (Sprint Committed)

Story Effort (S/M/L) Owner hint Notes
[story] [S=0.5d, M=1-2d, L=3-5d] [FE/BE/Full] [dependency or risk]

Committed total: [X days] of [Y available]

Should Do (if capacity allows)

Stories that are next in priority but can slip to next sprint without breaking the goal.

Out of scope this sprint

Stories deliberately deferred — with one-line reason for each.


Risks:

  • [dependency on another team, unclear requirement, etc.]

Suggested check-ins: [mid-sprint review suggestion]


Flag any story that is too vague to estimate — ask for clarification before committing it.
