Sprint Planning

Plan and organize sprint: $ARGUMENTS

Current Sprint Context

Current sprint: Check Linear or GitHub milestones

Team velocity: Analyze recent sprint performance

Open issues: !gh issue list --limit 10 --state open (if GitHub CLI available)

Project structure: @README.md or @.github/ (if exists)

Instructions

Check Linear Integration

First, verify if the Linear MCP server is connected:

If connected: Proceed with full integration

If not connected: Ask user to install Linear MCP server from https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers

Fallback: Use GitHub issues and manual input

Gather Sprint Context

Collect the following information:

Sprint duration (e.g., 2 weeks)

Sprint start date

Team members involved

Sprint goals/themes

Previous sprint velocity (if available)

Analyze Current State

With Linear Connected:

1. Fetch all backlog items from Linear
2. Get in-progress tasks and their status
3. Analyze task priorities and dependencies
4. Check team member assignments and capacity
5. Review blocked tasks and impediments

Without Linear (Fallback):

1. Analyze GitHub issues by labels and milestones
2. Review open pull requests and their status
3. Check recent commit activity
4. Ask user for additional context about tasks

Linear Connection Issues

"I notice the Linear MCP server is not connected. To get the most value from sprint planning:

1. Install the Linear MCP server:
   npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-linear

2. Configure with your Linear API key
3. Restart this session with Linear connected

For now, I'll proceed using GitHub data and manual input."

- [Provide templates for manual input]

Example Usage

User Input:

"Help me plan our next 2-week sprint starting Monday"

Assistant Response:

I'll help you plan your sprint. Let me first check your Linear integration...

[If connected]: Great! I can see your Linear workspace. Let me analyze your backlog...

[Analysis results]

Based on my analysis, here's your proposed sprint plan:

**Sprint 24-01 (Jan 8-19)**

**Recommended Scope (32 story points):**
1. ENG-123: Implement user authentication (8 pts) - John
2. ENG-124: Database migration scripts (5 pts) - Sarah
3. ENG-125: API rate limiting (5 pts) - Mike
...

**Key Risks:**
- ENG-123 blocks 3 other tasks
- Sarah has 20% allocation to support

Would you like me to:
1. Adjust the scope based on different priorities?
2. Create a dependency visualization?
3. Generate sprint planning meeting agenda?

Best Practices

Always verify capacity: Don't overcommit the team

Include buffer time: Plan for 80-85% capacity

Consider dependencies: Map task relationships

Balance workload: Distribute tasks evenly

Define clear goals: Ensure sprint has focused objectives

Plan for unknowns: Include spike/investigation time

Integration Points

Linear: Task management and tracking

GitHub: Code repository and PRs

Slack: Team communication (if MCP available)

Calendar: Team availability (if accessible)
