What Is a Useful Template for Expressing a Sprint Goal?
A Sprint Goal can be framed as a hypothesis:
Quote
Our Sprint Goal is to deliver {new capability} because we believe this will improve {specific customer outcomes} for {target users}.
We will know this is true if we observe {measurable improvement}.
This format ties delivery to measurable impact, making the value hypothesis explicit.
