If the team says we are spending too much time in Sprint Planning, what do you do? 


If anyone from the Scrum team expresses that they feel they are spending too much time during Sprint planning, an excellent way to work in this case is to voice it out in the Sprint Retrospective. 


The Scrum team can then brainstorm and come up with new ideas and action items so that they can be more efficient during Sprint Planning.

For example, The Scrum team might be spending too much time due to a lack of clarity of requirements. Due to this, they have too many questions, and this may be taking a lot of time. 


An action item that the team can come up with is to have regular product backlog refinement sessions regularly. Or they can propose to have prototypes and wireframes that help them understand requirements better. 

 

To conclude, SprintPlanning is an inspect and adapt Cycle that helps the Scrum team to choose work that will help achieve the business goals. 


It essentially allows the team to collaborate to identify the goal and plan to accomplish the Goal-based on the business needs that are of utmost importance at a given point of time, keeping in mind the team capability, business needs, and stakeholder feedback.
