Anti-Pattern Explanation:Iteration Planning should not be the first time the team hears about the business intent of the work they are about to start. This should have been communicated earlier through backlog refinement sessions and ongoing interactions with the Product Owner (PO).
Business Intent Communication:The PO should regularly update the team on the business context and intent behind backlog items to ensure alignment and readiness for Iteration Planning.
Impact:Introducing business intent for the first time during Iteration Planning can lead to confusion, inadequate preparation, and a rushed planning session, which undermines the effectiveness of the iteration.
