What is the main focus during a Sprint Planning meeting?

During a Sprint Planning meeting, the primary focus is on determining how to deliver the product increment. This involves the entire Scrum team, including the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team, collaborating to identify which items from the backlog will be worked on in the upcoming sprint. The team articulates the sprint goal and defines what the increment should look like by the end of the sprint.

This process includes breaking down the selected backlog items into manageable tasks and discussing how best to accomplish them within the sprint timeframe. The objective is to ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of what needs to be done and how they will achieve the goals set for that iteration. While reviewing previous sprint results might offer insights and context, and aspects such as cost estimation and task assignment are important in project management, they do not encapsulate the core focus of Sprint Planning, which is honing in on the next step towards delivering a valuable product increment.
