What is Sprint Planning?

Sprint Planning is a key event in Scrum, an agile framework for project management. It's a collaborative meeting at the beginning of each sprint (a short, time-boxed period during which specific work is accomplished) where the Scrum Team determines what work they will deliver during the sprint and how they will achieve that work. The process typically involves selecting user stories or tasks from the product backlog and breaking them down into smaller, actionable items. The team also estimates the effort required for each task and creates a sprint backlog. Ultimately, the sprint planning session establishes a clear and shared understanding of the sprint goal and the plan to achieve it.
