Agile Project Management - The Sprint Planning Checklist

The video tutorial explains the structure of a meeting divided into two parts: the 'what' and the 'how'. In the first part, the product owner presents features for a Sprint, and the team discusses, estimates, and selects tasks they can commit to. The second part involves breaking down stories into subtasks for self-organization, with possible adjustments to commitments. Preparation involves inviting key participants and having necessary materials like planning poker cards and index cards. The outcome is a Sprint backlog with stories and tasks, ensuring the team understands and commits to the Sprint goal, with the product owner confident in the coverage of the Sprint goal.
