Do you have a team that needs to easily plan their sprint goals? Look no further!

This sprint planning template is designed to help teams stay organized, focused, and aligned during each sprint. Whether you’re new to Scrum or a seasoned pro, this template makes it easy to set up your team’s sprint goals, track capacity, and stay on top of important milestones.

Use this template to easily set up your team's sprint dates and goals. Setting clear goals for each sprint is crucial for keeping everyone aligned and focused. This template lets you define start and end dates for each sprint, ensuring your team understands the timeline and can plan accordingly. You can also easily assign specific goals to each sprint to ensure that your work stays on track and focused on delivering value.
You can also use the capacity and load fields to facilitate your team's capacity. One of the most common challenges in sprint planning is ensuring that the team has enough capacity to handle the work assigned to them. This template helps by including fields for tracking team capacity and work load. By documenting the team's historical velocity and comparing that against the load, you can quickly identify any overcommitment or gaps before they become problems. This proactive approach helps balance workloads, prevent burnout, and set realistic expectations for what the team can accomplish.
You can swap back and forth between the table and timeline layout to see your sprint timeline and the goals associated with each sprint. Flexibility is key when it comes to sprint planning, and this template gives you just that. You can seamlessly toggle between the table view, which provides a simple and clear way to track sprint goals and progress, and the timeline view, which offers a visual representation of your sprint schedule. The timeline view helps you see how each sprint fits into the bigger picture.
This template was inspired by the Scrum Guide itself, and includes the sprint planning steps directly from the guide. Rooted in the Scrum Guide’s principles, this template helps your team adhere to best practices while maintaining the flexibility to customize your workflow. By using this template, you can ensure that your sprint planning process is efficient, structured, and aligned with Scrum’s foundational practices.

Say goodbye to confusion and uncertainty in your sprint planning, and start using this template to streamline your scrum events today.
