📑 Sprint Playbook Template (Improved)

0. Sprint Status

---

2. Current State of Software

(Comprehensive snapshot of the project before Sprint work begins)

• Main Features Available: [list with brief descriptions]
• Known Limitations / Issues: [list with impact assessment]
• Relevant Files / Modules: [list with paths and purposes]
• Environment / Dependencies: [runtime versions, frameworks, libs with versions]
• Testing Infrastructure: [available test frameworks, coverage tools, CI/CD status]
• Documentation Status: [current state of docs, known gaps]

---

3. Desired State of Software

(Target state after Sprint is complete)

• New Features: [list with specific functionality descriptions]
• Modified Features: [list with before/after behavior changes]
• Expected Behavior Changes: [user-visible and system-level changes]
• External Dependencies / Integrations: [new libraries, APIs, services with versions]
• Performance Expectations: [any performance requirements or improvements]
• Security Considerations: [security implications or requirements]

---

4. User Stories

Each story represents a unit of work that can be developed, tested, and verified independently.

Story ID	Title	Description	Acceptance Criteria	Definition of Done	Assignee	Status	Est. Time	Dependencies
US-1	[short title]	[detailed description of functionality]	[specific, testable conditions]	[implemented, tested, docs updated, lint clean, user testing completed]	[AI agent]	🔲 todo	[hours]	[story IDs]
US-2	...	...	...	...	...	🔲 todo	[hours]	[story IDs]

Status options: 🔲 todo, 🚧 in progress, 🚫 blocked, ✅ done

Story Priority Matrix:

• Must Have: Core functionality required for sprint success
• Should Have: Important features that add significant value
• Could Have: Nice-to-have features if time permits
• Won't Have: Explicitly out of scope for this sprint

5. Technical Instructions

(Comprehensive guidance to help AI converge quickly on the correct solution)

• Code Snippets / Patterns:

  // Example pattern with actual syntax from project
  export const exampleFunction = async (params: ExampleType): Promise<ResultType> => {
    // Implementation pattern following project conventions
  };
  

• Architecture Guidelines:

  • [layering principles, module boundaries, design patterns]
  • [data flow patterns, state management approaches]
  • [error handling conventions, logging patterns]

  • [naming rules: camelCase, PascalCase, kebab-case usage]
  • [formatting: prettier, eslint rules]
  • [file organization, import/export patterns]

• Testing Strategy:

  • [unit/integration/e2e testing approach]
  • [testing framework and utilities to use]
  • [coverage targets and quality gates]
  • [manual testing checkpoints and user validation requirements]

• Internationalization (i18n):

  • [translation key patterns and placement]
  • [supported locales and fallback strategies]
  • [client vs server-side translation approaches]

• Performance Considerations:

  • [bundle size targets, lazy loading strategies]
  • [database query optimization patterns]
  • [caching strategies and invalidation]

---

6. Risks and Dependencies

  • [Authentication/authorization complexity]

• Timeline Risks:

  • [Unknown complexity areas]
  • [Potential scope creep triggers]
  • [External dependency availability]

• Dependencies:

  • [other modules, external services, libraries]
  • [team inputs, design assets, API documentation]
  • [infrastructure or deployment requirements]

• Mitigation Strategies:

  • [fallback approaches for high-risk items]

  • [simplified alternatives if main approach fails]

---

7. Quality Gates

• Code Quality:

  • All code follows project style guidelines
  • No linting errors or warnings
  • Code compiles without errors
  • No security vulnerabilities introduced

• Testing Quality:

  • Unit tests cover new functionality
  • Integration points are tested
  • Manual testing completed by user
  • Regression testing passed

• Documentation Quality:
