SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams plan sprints, run Scrum ceremonies, estimate work, and manage flow so delivery is predictable and continuous improvement is actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Sprint planning guidance: Build a sprint goal, select backlog items by capacity, break down work, and surface risks and dependencies.
  • Estimation and metrics: Use story point methods (e.g., modified Fibonacci / planning poker) and interpret velocity and sprint health metrics.
  • Kanban + Scrum flow optimization: Set up a Kanban board with explicit WIP limits and apply flow metrics (e.g., cycle time, throughput).
  • Retrospective facilitation: Run structured retrospectives that end with specific, owned, time-bound actions.
  • Story quality support: Produce effective user stories with acceptance criteria (Given-When-Then) and a clear Definition of Done.

Quick Start

Use the agile-scrum skill to create a sprint planning agenda for your upcoming two-week sprint and include sprint goal, capacity-aware backlog selection, and a velocity-based plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about agile-scrum

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a sprint with capacity-aware backlog selection and velocity metrics?

Sprint planning requires building a sprint goal, selecting backlog items based on team capacity, breaking down work, and surfacing risks. This provides ceremony-specific instructions and planning templates to generate a capacity-aware sprint plan using velocity metrics.

What is the best way to facilitate a retrospective with actionable outcomes?

Retrospective facilitation should run structured formats that end with specific, owned, and time-bound actions. This skill generates retrospective instructions and decision rules to guide continuous improvement and prevent common Agile pitfalls.

How do story points work with modified Fibonacci and planning poker for estimation?

Story point estimation uses methods like modified Fibonacci and planning poker to size work relatively. This skill applies estimation techniques to produce effective user stories with Given-When-Then acceptance criteria and a clear Definition of Done.

How do I set up a Kanban board with WIP limits and flow metrics?

Kanban board setup requires explicit WIP limits and tracking flow metrics like cycle time and throughput. This skill provides WIP and flow guardrails to optimize Scrum and Kanban delivery flow for predictable output.

Can I use Scrum and Kanban flow optimization together for my team's backlog grooming?

Scrum and Kanban flow optimization can be combined during backlog grooming to manage work intake and delivery. This skill produces WIP guardrails, flow metric interpretation, and decision rules applicable to both frameworks.

What are common Agile pitfalls when interpreting sprint health and velocity metrics?

Common Agile pitfalls include misinterpreting velocity and sprint health metrics, which leads to unpredictable delivery. This skill provides decision rules and metric interpretation guidance to avoid these estimation and planning failures.
