# Sprint planning notes template

Date: [add date]
Participants: [add names]
Purpose: [add purpose]

## Sprint goal

[Describe the user-visible outcome in one sentence. Avoid turning a list of tickets into the goal.]

## Capacity & assumptions

[Record known availability and uncertainty. Do not silently convert a rough estimate into a guaranteed completion date.]

## Selected scope

[List the work agreed for the cycle and the acceptance conditions that explain when it is complete.]

## Dependencies & risks

[Name the external condition, its owner if known, and the consequence of delay. Keep an unresolved dependency visible.]

## Out of scope & trade-offs

[Record what the team intentionally deferred. A clear exclusion prevents the plan from expanding through casual follow-up.]

## Next actions

[Capture the planning follow-up, with dates only as stated. Keep work selection distinct from individual acceptance of a task.]
