SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Sprint planning with AI-assisted orchestration reduces cycle time and improves alignment across stakeholders. This Skill coordinates backlog synthesis, story selection, fleshing-out, Gherkin spec generation, team composition, and sprint activation gating.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Backlog synthesis from PRD and master plan to prioritize stories and surface readiness gaps
  • Story selection for 2-8 items with retro handoff handling and dependency checks
  • Flesh out each selected story with acceptance criteria, development notes, and tasks
  • Generate Gherkin specs for E2E validation while maintaining black-box boundaries
  • Build team composition with role assignments, guidelines checks, and guardrails
  • AVFL validation and activation gating to ensure a complete, auditable sprint plan
  • Draft sprint artifacts on a dedicated branch to enable review and traceability

Quick Start

Invoke /momentum:sprint-planning to start a planning sprint workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions about sprint-planning

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a sprint using AI to select and flesh out backlog stories?▼

Sprint planning with AI-assisted orchestration synthesizes your backlog to select 2-8 stories, fleshes them out with acceptance criteria, and generates Gherkin specs for E2E validation. It coordinates dependency checks and risk signals across multiple tools.

What is Gherkin spec generation and when do I need it for sprint planning?▼

Gherkin spec generation creates structured behavior scenarios for E2E validation while maintaining black-box boundaries. You need it during sprint planning to ensure selected stories have clear, testable acceptance criteria before development begins.

Can I use AI orchestration to synthesize a product backlog from a PRD and master plan?▼

Yes, backlog synthesis from PRD and master plan is supported to prioritize stories and surface readiness gaps. This AI orchestration reduces cycle time and improves alignment across stakeholders before sprint activation.

How to handle sprint retro handoffs and dependency checks during story selection?▼

Story selection for 2-8 items includes retro handoff handling and automated dependency checks. This ensures continuity from previous sprints and validates that prerequisites are met before fleshing out stories with tasks and development notes.

What's the best way to ensure sprint plan readiness with team composition and activation gating?▼

Build team composition with role assignments and guardrails, then validate using AVFL validation and activation gating. This ensures a complete, auditable sprint plan drafted on a dedicated branch for review and traceability.

Why does my sprint plan need auditable artifacts drafted on a dedicated branch?▼

Auditable artifacts drafted on a dedicated branch enable review and traceability for your sprint plan. This activation gating approach satisfies end-to-end planning requirements by validating dependencies, risk signals, and team composition before development starts.
