description: How to initialize sprint tracking for implementation
---
Use the `sprint-planning` workflow to initialize the sprint tracking file and organize work for implementation.
## When to Use This
- Once at the start of Phase 4 (Implementation)
- After implementation-readiness gate passes
- When starting a new sprint cycle
:::note[Prerequisites]
- BMad Method installed
- SM (Scrum Master) agent available
- Epic files created from `create-epics-and-stories`
- Implementation-readiness passed (for BMad Method/Enterprise)
:::
## Steps
### 1. Load the SM Agent
Start a fresh chat and load the SM (Scrum Master) agent.
### 2. Run the Workflow
```
*sprint-planning
```
### 3. Provide Context
Point the agent to your epic files created during Phase 3.
### 4. Review Sprint Organization
The agent organizes stories into the sprint tracking file.
## What You Get
A `sprint-status.yaml` file containing:
- All epics with their stories
- Story status tracking (TODO, IN PROGRESS, READY FOR REVIEW, DONE)
- Dependencies between stories
- Priority ordering
## Story Lifecycle States
| State | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| **TODO** | Story identified but not started |
| **IN PROGRESS** | Story being implemented |
| **READY FOR REVIEW** | Implementation complete, awaiting code review |
| **DONE** | Accepted and complete |
## Typical Sprint Flow
**Sprint 0 (Planning Phase):**
- Complete Phases 1-3
- PRD/GDD + Architecture complete
- Epics+Stories created via create-epics-and-stories
**Sprint 1+ (Implementation Phase):**
Start of Phase 4:
1. SM runs `sprint-planning` (once)
Per Story (repeat until epic complete):
1. SM runs `create-story`
2. DEV runs `dev-story`
3. DEV runs `code-review`
4. Update sprint-status.yaml
After Epic Complete:
- SM runs `retrospective`
- Move to next epic
## Tips
- **Run sprint-planning only once** — At Phase 4 start
- **Use sprint-status during Phase 4** — Check current state anytime
- **Keep sprint-status.yaml as single source of truth** — All status updates go here
- **Update story status after each stage** — Keep it current
## Next Steps
After sprint planning:
1. **Create Story** — Prepare the first story for implementation
2. **Implement Story** — Run dev-story with the DEV agent
3. **Code Review** — Quality assurance after implementation
