Key inputs for Sprint Planning include a Product Backlog with refined items, attendees prepared to discuss critical Product Backlog items, a Definition of Done, the Developers’ capacity and past performance, and the latest Increment.
A refined Product Backlog ensures that items are small enough to be completed within a Sprint. Attendees must be ready to discuss these items in relation to the Product Goal, while the Definition of Done helps in forecasting the work. The Developers’ capacity and past performance provide insights into the amount of work that can be realistically planned for the Sprint.
