Sprint Planning for Agile Delivery Leads

Complete Sprint Planning agenda for Agile Delivery Leads

As a Scrum Master, your goal in Sprint Planning was to ensure the team had a voice, the backlog was ready, and the timebox was respected.

As Agile Delivery Leads, things change… just a little bit.

You still have those Scrum Master goals, BUT those goals are layered with 3 additional responsibilities:

1. delivery assurance,

2. risk management, and

3. strategic alignment
