- ✦Plan a sprint with a clear sprint goal and a right-sized set of backlog items
- ✦Run a daily stand-up that stays on time and surfaces real blockers
- ✦Estimate work with story points as a team, using planning poker, and re-estimate honestly as the team learns more
- ✦Map stakeholders by interest and influence, and give an update that reports status, the risk, and the ask needed
- ✦Set up a Jira-style board with working columns and WIP limits, and write a user story with clear acceptance criteria
