Quick Start

Once you have Planning Game running locally, here’s how to get started.

1. Create a Project

Navigate to Admin in the sidebar. Click New Project and fill in:

• Name: Your project name
• Abbreviation: Short code for card IDs (e.g., “MYP”)
• Scoring System: Choose “1-5” or “Fibonacci”

2. Create a Sprint

Go to Sprint View and create a new sprint:

• Title: e.g., “Sprint 1 - March 2026”
• Start Date: Sprint start
• End Date: Sprint end

3. Create an Epic

Every task needs an epic. Create one from the Epics tab:

• Title: e.g., “User Authentication”
• Description: What this epic covers

4. Create a Task

Switch to the Tasks tab and create your first task:

• Title: Descriptive title
• Description: User story format (Como/Quiero/Para)
• Epic: Select the epic you created
• Sprint: Select the sprint
• Acceptance Criteria: Given/When/Then format

5. Estimate and Prioritize

During sprint planning, set:

• devPoints: Technical effort (1 = trivial, 5 = very complex)
• businessPoints: Business value (1 = nice to have, 5 = critical)

Priority is calculated automatically: (businessPoints / devPoints) × 100

6. Work on the Task

1. Self-assign the task (click your name in the developer field)
2. Change status to In Progress — this sets your WIP slot
3. Create a feature branch: git checkout -b feat/MYP-TSK-0001-description
4. Implement, commit, push, create PR
5. Change status to To Validate with commits and PR info

Using with AI Agents

If you have the MCP server configured, AI agents can do all of this programmatically:

# Ask Claude to create a task
"Create a task in MyProject for adding user login"

# Ask Claude to work on it
"Work on MYP-TSK-0001"

See the MCP Server guide for details.
