About this product
This facilitation guide with help Scrum Masters run a workshop on Product Goals and Sprint Goals for their teams.
The goal of this workshop is to teach your team the importance of Product Goal and Sprint Goal in Scrum, what makes a good goal, and help set goals for the team in the end.
AUDIENCE
This workshop is a great way to help new Scrum Teams set good foundation for their ongoing success with Product and Sprint Goals. If your team has been struggling with creating goals, this workshop can be a great first step in your improvement plan.
It is engaging and actionable. Through exercises, the team learns essential concepts about goals in Scrum, then practices creating Sprint Goals based on example Product Goals. The workshop ends with the team creating their Product Goal and planning a few Sprint Goals that might make sense in the future. Thanks to the examples provided, creating good goals becomes easier.
Adapt the exercises, take them out, or extend the discussion to meet your specific needs. Use separate exercises as short teaching moments in other meetings if you can’t run the full workshop - this can easily provide 15-30 minutes worth of learning.
