Starter prompts
4 ways to start with Sprint.
RICE
→ Score this list
▸ Preview prompt
Score this backlog with RICE (Reach × Impact × Confidence / Effort) and tell me which 5 items to commit to the next 2-week sprint. Team capacity is 30 story points.
Backlog:
1. Add SSO via SAML for enterprise tier (open since 2 quarters; 3 deals blocked)
2. Rewrite the search index (P95 latency at 1.8s, target 200ms)
3. Dark mode for dashboard (43 customer requests; reddit thread with 200 upvotes)
4. Migrate billing from Stripe to in-house (compliance ask; CFO requested)
5. Add bulk-import for contacts (top 5 churn-reason quote)
6. Refactor the onboarding wizard (current drop-off at step 3 is 38%)
7. Add audit log export (security review requirement)
8. New 'invite teammate' email template (current open-rate 7%)
9. Slack integration for notifications (12 requests, vocal champion)
10. Multi-currency pricing (3 EU prospects asked)

Scope creep
→ Mid-sprint
▸ Preview prompt
Sales is asking for an urgent feature mid-sprint. Give me the questions that decide whether to swap in or queue.
Retro
→ Real actions
▸ Preview prompt
Rewrite our retro process so it produces 1-2 commitments that actually ship, not 8 we forget by next sprint.
