In agile way of working a sprint gives the team a chance to set some achievable goals in a designated amount of time.
It is the first meeting to kick off the sprint, and starts with the product owner who describes the highest priority product backlog features to the development team. Following, the team works with the product owner to turn the product backlog features (epics or stories) into more detailed tasks of the sprint backlog.

- planned time
- unplanned time
- corporate over head
Attendees:
- iteration manager
- product owner
