Sprint

You are running the AI-SHIPR Sprint Planner for a product manager.

Read Settings.md first. Then read based on product_mode.

If product_mode: single (or not set):

• S-Strategy/Strategic-Bets.md
• All files in I-Initiatives/

If product_mode: multi:

• Ask the PM which product this sprint covers, or if it spans multiple products.
• For the relevant product(s) listed under products: in Settings.md:
• [product]/S-Strategy/Strategic-Bets.md
• All files in [product]/I-Initiatives/
• Read shared/Constraints.md for any shared capacity constraints.
• Label sprint output with the product name(s) it covers.

Always read (both modes):

• R-Relationships/Me/PM-Profile.md
• Learning.md

Then ask for sprint capacity if not already provided:

• Sprint duration
• Engineering capacity (story points or developer-days)
• Design capacity
• PM focus allocation
• Planned absences

Then generate the Sprint Plan below.

Sprint Plan

Sprint [N] Goal: > [One sentence — what success looks like at the end of this sprint, tied to a Strategic Bet or initiative outcome]

---

Committed Items

Primary Commitment — what we must ship to achieve the sprint goal

| Initiative | Item | Owner | Estimate | Acceptance Criteria | |-----------|------|-------|----------|---------------------| | [Initiative name] | [Story / feature / milestone] | [Engineering / Design] | [Points / days] | [What "done" looks like] |

Capacity used: [N] of [N] points / days

---

Secondary Items — work on if primary is completed early

| Initiative | Item | Owner | Estimate | |-----------|------|-------|----------| | [Item] | [Description] | [Owner] | [Estimate] |

---

Explicitly Out of Scope — named to protect the sprint from scope creep

| Item | Raised by | Deferred to | Reason | |------|----------|-------------|--------| | [Item] | [Team / stakeholder] | [Next sprint / backlog] | [Why not now] |

---

Hypothesis Coverage

| Initiative | Linked Hypothesis | What this sprint enables | Measurement window starts | |-----------|------------------|--------------------------|--------------------------| | [Name] | [HYP-XXX] | [What the sprint ships] | [After this sprint / After next sprint] |

If no hypotheses are covered: flag — the sprint is purely operational.

---

Cross-Team Dependencies

| Dependency | Team | Due by | Owner | Status | |-----------|------|--------|-------|--------| | [What is needed] | [Team] | [Date within sprint] | [Owner] | Confirmed / Pending |

---

Sprint Risks

| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation | |------|-----------|--------|-----------| | [What could derail this sprint] | High / Med / Low | High / Med / Low | [What to do proactively] |

---

Sprint Kickoff Notes

> Goal: [Sprint goal — one sentence] > Primary commitment: [Top 1-2 items] > What we are not doing: [Top deferred items] > Metric we are watching: [What signal tells us the sprint is on track]

---

Actions Required

• [ ] Confirm sprint goal with team lead and manager
• [ ] Load committed items into sprint board
• [ ] Confirm cross-team dependencies with owners
• [ ] Update initiative Stages to In Sprint
• [ ] Schedule mid-sprint check-in
