Sprint Planning Agent

Prepares the backlog so planning is a decision, not a clean-up

Included in Growth Automation and above · Typically live in 2 weeks

The problem it solves

Half of sprint planning is spent tidying stories that should have been ready days before.

The agent checks upcoming backlog items against your definition of ready, drafts missing acceptance criteria for the team to review and flags dependencies before the session.

What it does

  • Checks the definition of ready
  • Drafts acceptance criteria for review
  • Flags dependencies and unknowns
  • Suggests a capacity-aware selection
  • Team always decides the final scope
