Sprint Brief Skill
Purpose
Produce a clear, scannable sprint brief that every team member — engineer, designer, PM — can read in under three minutes and understand exactly what we're doing and why.
Required Inputs
- Sprint name and number
- Sprint goal (1-2 sentences)
- Ticket list with owners
- Known dependencies or blockers
- Carry-over items from previous sprint
Process
- Read sprint goal and check it's specific and measurable — flag if it's too vague
- Group tickets by theme or feature area
- Identify the critical path — which tickets must complete for the sprint goal to be met?
- Flag risks: tickets with unclear acceptance criteria, missing designs, unresolved dependencies
- Note carry-over items and whether they affect this sprint's goal
