Sprint Planning

Every other Monday, the Marketing team holds a Sprint Planning Meeting to plan and prioritize our work for the next, 2-week sprint.


Quarterly goals guide each sprint in the “2022 MKT Sprint Goals” worksheet.

We begin the sprint planning meeting by reviewing “Definition of Done” (DOD) and assignments for each goal in the sprint. 

Next, we calculate a few values to create our sprint “Point availability.”

Total Available Hrs.
Subtract your hours out of office from the total hours available for the sprint (usually 72).

Meeting Hrs.
The total hours you have already reserved for meetings.
   • Google Calendar can show “hr in meetings” for selected weeks.
   • Add extra hours to account for unscheduled meetings and tasks.
Sprint Points
Calculated after you have created Jira “Cards” and assigned “Story Points” for your sprint tasks. We will cover Jira next.
