Sprint Planning

Plan short work cycles for a client and check progress by asking.

Quarterly rocks (the three to seven big goals a client commits to for a quarter) are too big to work on directly. A sprint breaks them into a short burst of work, often two weeks, with a clear list of what should be done by the end.

Armbrain keeps each client's sprint in that client's mind, next to the meeting notes, decisions and promises. So when someone asks "where are we?", you ask your AI assistant instead of opening a spreadsheet.

How to use it

The answer is more than a status grid. Armbrain also has the call notes and decisions for that client, so you can ask why an item is stuck and get an answer from what was actually said.

Changes to rocks and sprints wait for your OK before they are saved. Read the rocks and sprints guide.

Try it

  • Armbrain, where are we on the Tidewater Logistics sprint?

  • Armbrain, what is left this sprint for Harbor Dental Group, and are we on pace?

  • Armbrain, mark the Tidewater Logistics landing page as done. Wait for my OK before you save it.

Prompt of the day

Mid-sprint check against the rocks

Change these first:

CLIENTCOMPANY = Tidewater Logistics Armbrain, switch to CLIENTCOMPANY and show me the current sprint: what is done, what is in progress and what has not started, and which quarterly rock each item supports. Flag anything that will not finish by the end of the sprint, with the reason from our notes. Do not change anything until I say so.

Why it works: It ties every sprint item back to a quarterly goal and surfaces the slipping ones while there is still time to fix them, without changing anything behind your back.
