Pre-Iteration Planning Meeting (Pre-IPM)

Who: 1 Developer, Designer, Product Manager How long: 1 Hour or less Facilitator: Product Manager Goal: Communicate the upcoming direction from the Product Manager** and stakeholder for the upcoming IPM. Key Points of Focus:

• Wordsmith the stories in a way that the rest of the team may understand.

• Ensure stories are fleshed out and ready to be worked on for the next week.

• Prioritize based off of feedback, user needs, and highest value that can be achieved quickly if possible.

• Attach any designs or artifacts to stories that need referenceable context.

• Do anything here that wouldn't take away time from the team during the IPM (Iteration Planning Meeting), as this is a great time to discuss with a developer to clear up any technical questions you may have.
