How to use GitScrum for sprint planning meetings?
GitScrum supports sprint planning through Kanban boards for task selection, NoteVault for sprint goals, and Team Standup for alignment. Before the meeting, groom the backlog. During planning, move selected items to Sprint column, set WIP limits, and document goals in NoteVault. Research shows structured planning reduces mid-sprint changes by 40% [Source: Scrum Alliance].
