Planning
Your learners will almost definitely already have the skills to plan. You will connect their with their past understanding of planning and help them frame Sprint Planning in a familiar and approachable manner. We use Henrik Kniberg's planning agenda to streamline this process. THey will have been through the Sprint Planning module as part of Session 2 homework, so they should come to class with some understanding of how all of this works in practice.
Be sure to check in with your producers to know if any learners failed to do this homework. If so, it is up to you on how you will ensure they get the content they need to be successful.
