Development team for the First Time at the Sprint Planning Meeting

23. BEST PRACTISES ?
• Product owner is preparing a list of candidate user stories from the
product backlog, they should select stories totalling more than the
Scrum team’s capacity
• Avoid over promising and under delivering
• Sending agenda and proposed sprint goal / user stories in advance to
the team
