What are the three fundamental parts of Sprint Planning?

  1. Why, Who, and What

  2. Goal, PBIs, and Tasks

  3. What, How, and When

  4. Why, What, and How

The correct answer is: Why, What, and How

The three fundamental parts of Sprint Planning are centered around setting a clear direction for the team's work during the Sprint. The "Why" addresses the overall purpose and goals behind the upcoming Sprint, ensuring that the team understands the importance of their tasks and how they align with the larger objectives of the project or organization. The "What" part focuses on defining the work that needs to be accomplished, including selecting specific Product Backlog Items (PBIs) that the team aims to complete during the Sprint. Lastly, the "How" involves discussing and strategizing the methods and approaches the team will employ to achieve the goals and complete the identified tasks. This structure ensures that the team not only knows what they are working on but also understands the significance behind the work and has a plan for execution. The combination of these three elements fosters a productive planning session that lays a solid foundation for the Sprint ahead.
