Plan your sprints and communicate them to teams with ease

Learn how sprint planning helps your entire team keep pace.

How does sprint planning benefit collaborative teams?

Sprint planning defines the purpose, goals, and tasks for a set time frame (a “sprint”).

It breaks large, overwhelming tasks and goals into subtasks to make them more manageable and less daunting for everyone involved.

Don’t let sprint planning leave you out of breath! We know there are lots of moving parts to juggle, but Notion’s connected workspace has your back.

You can plan, detail, and schedule sprints with ease thanks to centralized meeting notes, project timelines, and resources.

Create a new page in your workspace and add sections describing the project. Include blocks to visualize ongoing work, to-dos, backlogs, and completed work.
Decide on a timeframe, like a two-week sprint. Create a database that itemizes objectives and tasks based on this timeframe.
For each task, create a page that offers more details like deadlines, responsible individuals, and task statuses – and sort or filter to create visualizations like project boards or timelines.
