# Sprint Kickoff Template

A short, energizing start to a new sprint. Align on the goal, confirm the plan and ownership, and launch with momentum.

- **Duration:** 30 minutes

- [ ] Walk the sprint backlog (10 min) - confirm committed items and acceptance criteria
- [ ] Confirm ownership and first moves (8 min) - who starts on what, pull first
- [ ] Flag early risks (5 min) - dependencies and unknowns visible from day one
