## What are Sprint Planning Items?

Sprint planning items are documentation that an Agile team delivers when they are operating with the Scrum method. Each time they perform a sprint, they discuss:

1. The priorities based on the [project roadmap](broken://pages/a7rLakbW5PEx99fKbQ5p)
2. The "Sprint Goals": outcomes to achieve by the end of the next sprint
3. The "Sprint Items": independent tasks involved to achieve the sprint goals
4. The ["Sprint Do'ers"](/agile-training-portal/agile-handbook/agile-methods/scrum-method/scrum-team-functions.md): people who are committed to finish the work together.&#x20;

Here's an example of a result of sprint planning:

## Why are Sprint Planning Items Valuable?

Sprint planning items are valuable because they create clarity and expectations about what the team is committing to. They enable teams to rally around the same shared outcomes to achieve, no matter how they choose to achieve them as a self-organized team.&#x20;

## How are Sprint Planning Items Made?

Teams get together, review the [backlog ](/agile-training-portal/agile-handbook/agile-related-outputs-and-deliverables/team-outputs-for-agile/agile-team-outputs-before-projects-begin/backlogs-and-kanban-boards.md)and [project roadmap](/agile-training-portal/agile-handbook/agile-related-outputs-and-deliverables/team-outputs-for-agile/agile-team-outputs-before-projects-begin/project-phase-roadmaps.md), and decide priorities for the sprint together. Tasks they choose should already have [product requirements](broken://pages/jF6xTBxNmUkkZtn2f909) that are refined so that they are ready to be worked. Teams may need to run a [prioritization activity](broken://pages/lZOR35UrpHjZkaovTLYu) before choosing their sprint items.

## Who Maintains Sprint Planning?

The Scrum Master function runs and facilitates sprint planning based on the [backlog management](/agile-training-portal/agile-handbook/agile-related-outputs-and-deliverables/team-outputs-for-agile/agile-team-outputs-before-projects-begin/backlogs-and-kanban-boards.md) that the Product Owner function performs.

## Sprint Planning Workshop

Here's a Workshop Template your team can use before a project and during projects to outline the sprint goals, sprint tasks, and assigned team member responsibilities.

## When Should Teams Build their Sprint Planning Items?

[Before every sprint](/agile-training-portal/agile-handbook/agile-methods/scrum-method/scrum-meetings.md), the team gets together to plan their upcoming sprint, and revisit the [project roadmap](/agile-training-portal/agile-handbook/agile-related-outputs-and-deliverables/team-outputs-for-agile/agile-team-outputs-before-projects-begin/project-phase-roadmaps.md).

## How to Build Sprint Planning Items

### Here are the steps:

1. Get together as a full team.
2. Review the project roadmap to go over what you estimated to take on.
3. Prioritize sprint items.
4. Identify the sprint goals, the shared outcomes to achieve for the sprint.
5. Choose the sprint items.
6. The team self-commits to the work, and chooses how they want to be involved.
