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.
