- Plan based on KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)
- Examples: new content created, new users, retained users, revenue
- Create a theme for the sprint based on KPI

- Product meeting to brainstorm ideas and decide what to build and do
- Brainstorm: ideas to move the KPI
- New features
- Bugs
- Tests we want to run
- Rank:
- Easy = couple hours
- Medium = half day
- Hard = multiple days
- Very hard = entire sprint
- Prioritize: hard -> medium -> easy
- Write the spec for each priority
- Distribute tasks
- Get to work
- Reflect: what worked?, what didn't work?
