Sprint planning for Logistics & Supply Chain

Your prompt is ready 3 brackets to fill

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Logistics & Supply Chain sector from the inside.

## Your task
Help me plan a two-week sprint for a team of [TEAM SIZE] at a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet. Velocity is [STORY POINTS]. From the backlog below, propose a sprint goal, select items that fit the velocity, flag dependencies and risks, and list what to drop if we fall behind.

## About my situation
- Who this is for: shippers, carriers and warehouse teams
- What we must respect: delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits
- How we measure success: on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment

## What matters in Logistics & Supply Chain
- People involved: warehouse managers; dispatchers; drivers; fleet managers; customs brokers; shippers.
- Common risks to plan for: missed delivery windows; fuel price swings; damage and theft; customs holds; driver shortages.
- Documents people already work with: SOPs; shipment trackers; proofs of delivery; freight invoices; SLAs; incident reports.
- Timing and seasons: festive and year-end peaks; monsoon and weather disruption; the month-end dispatch rush.

## What I will give you
Backlog: [PASTE BACKLOG]

## How to work through it
1. Propose one clear sprint goal.
2. Select backlog items that fit the velocity and support the goal.
3. Flag dependencies and risks.
4. List what to drop first if the sprint slips.

## What to deliver
- Sprint goal
- Selected items with points
- Risks and dependencies
- Drop list

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Every task, risk and action has an owner role and a date or trigger.
- It is written for a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.

Why this prompt works

The “Sprint planning” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: sprint goal; selected items with points; risks and dependencies; and drop list. It makes the assistant work through 4 steps in order, starting with "propose one clear sprint goal", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 4 tests and fixes anything that fails.

This version is written for a logistics company running warehouses and a delivery fleet, so the assistant keeps delivery windows, customs rules and driver-hours limits in mind and judges the result by on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment. If an important detail is missing, it asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts.

How to get the best answer

Fill every bracket with real detail: [TEAM SIZE], [STORY POINTS], [PASTE BACKLOG] should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
Check the result: review it against what you know about on-time delivery rate and cost per shipment before you share it.
