We're going to take two of them and pull them up indoor Sprint as follows:

The next questions we have might be, how do we know when we have enough story points loaded into our Sprint? How do we know when we have enough work in there? And these are great question to ask.

Usually, we want to try and get a group commitment on our first Sprint, and then in our second Sprint we'll kind of do the same thing based on the output from our first Sprint. The number of story points that we complete in our Sprint is called our velocity. We use the velocity from our previous Sprint to help determine the velocity for the next Sprint. We're able to complete it and then adjust it accordingly. After three Sprints, we'll have what's called yesterday's weather, and the reason that they call it that is because yesterday's weather is known. We know what the weather was yesterday, but the weather tomorrow is a forecast, and that's the best we can do. It's usually pretty close, but it may not be exactly right. We can use yesterday's weather, which is the average of the velocity for the last three Sprints, and that becomes the maximum that we'll want to plan to. Given that, as a team, FP Sprint 1 doesn't have a previous velocity, we're going to go ahead and commit to four story points, and we'll see whether or not we're able to complete them.

We've got our Sprint all set to go; the story points are in there, all of the stories meet our definition of ready, and we've even got some additional stuff to do in case we finish these things early. Let's go ahead and start our Sprint:
