SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Game development sprints fail due to cross-discipline dependencies, vague goals, and chronic overcommitment. This Skill turns design decisions and milestones into an executable sprint plan with evaluable goals, day-sized tasks, and realistic capacity limits. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sprint Goal & Task Decomposition: Defines a single pillar-aligned sprint goal and breaks features into tasks of one day or less with owners, estimates, and scope tiers. - Dependency & Capacity Planning: Maps design-to-art-to-code-to-QA dependency chains, identifies the critical path, and applies a mandatory 20% buffer (30% for solo devs) to team capacity. - Velocity Tracking & Kanban Mode: Calibrates commitments against historical completion rates and offers a WIP-limited Kanban alternative for solo developers and small teams. - Use Case: A two-person indie team finishing a design review uses this Skill to plan a two-week sprint, producing a task board with Must/Should/Could tiers, a risk register, and a sprint-level definition of done. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to plan a two-week sprint for your current milestone, for example by saying "plan our next sprint focused on making the combat loop playable with three enemy types."

Frequently Asked Questions about game-sprint-plan

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a game development sprint?

Define a single evaluable sprint goal tied to a design pillar, decompose it into tasks of one day or less, map cross-discipline dependencies, then calculate capacity with a 20% buffer. Assign Must/Should/Could scope tiers so cuts happen in a controlled order.

How to break down game development tasks for a sprint backlog?

List the features needed for the sprint goal, split each into technical tasks, then subdivide until every task fits in eight hours or less. Tasks that remain too large are either vague or need a discovery spike scheduled first.

Should a solo developer use Scrum or Kanban?

Solo developers and teams of two usually benefit more from Kanban, since sprint ceremonies add overhead without value. Use a board with a WIP limit of 2-3 items, discipline swimlanes, and a short weekly self-review instead of formal retrospectives.

How much buffer should a game sprint include?

Reserve 20% of raw capacity for meetings, reviews, build issues, and unexpected bugs. Solo developers should reserve 30% because context switching between disciplines and solo debugging consume additional time.

Why do game sprints keep missing their commitments?

Chronic misses usually come from overcommitting beyond historical velocity, tasks estimated above one day, or unmapped dependencies blocking work. Compare planned versus completed work across the last three sprints to identify whether estimation, scope creep, or capacity is the cause.

When should I not use sprint planning for a game project?

Avoid full sprint planning during maintenance phases with continuous incoming work, unpredictable R&D prototyping, or when planning overhead exceeds the sprint's value. In those cases, use the Kanban mode with WIP limits and weekly reviews instead.
