How to use the Sprint planning template

Start a board from it
Use this template opens a new Freero board with the Sprint planning template on it (sign up free first). On a board you already have, open Templates in the toolbar and search for “Sprint planning”.
Follow the instruction on the board
“Agree on the goal first, check how many days people really have, then pull work from the top of the backlog until it’s full.”
Fill in each part
- Sprint goal One sentence the whole team can repeat by heart.
- Team capacity
- Table Columns: Teammate · Days available · Notes
- Ready backlog Ordered by priority, estimated, clear enough to start.
- Committed this sprint Pulled from the backlog. Stop when capacity is full.
- Risks & dependencies What could stop us, and who we need.
Bring your team and your agents
Invite people to the board or share a link, and work on it together live. The timer is in the top bar, private mode and voting in the board menu, and Claude or ChatGPT can join through Freero’s MCP server.

Work on it with an AI agent

Connect an assistant once and it works on the board with you, with your permissions: by default it reads and proposes, and people decide.

You ask: “Fill in the Sprint planning board from these notes.”
What happens It reads the board, then proposes sticky notes for it. Nothing changes until someone on the board accepts them.
You ask: “Group what we wrote into themes and list the actions.”
What happens It proposes clusters with a title each and task cards for the actions, labelled with its name and yours.

Planning poker: Estimate cards with sealed picks, reveal together and write the agreed value on the card.
Jira planning: Turn sticky notes into Jira issues on Cloud or Data Center, and keep both in step.

The user journey as a backbone of activities, with stories sliced into releases.

Futurespective
Imagine it is six months from now and things went well. Work backwards to what made it happen and what could stop it.
