The sprint planning meeting is where the project team comes together at the start of each sprint and decides what they should focus and work on next. With Jira, you will be using the Backlog mode of your board to create and plan the new sprint's scope.

Now we illustrate some of the key components during sprint planning:

• Backlog: This includes all the issues that are not in any sprint yet. In other words, it includes the issues that are not yet scheduled for completion. For a new board, all existing issues will be placed in the backlog.
• Sprints: These are displayed above the backlog. You can have multiple sprints and plan ahead.
• Issue details: This is the panel on the right-hand side. It displays details of the issue you are clicking on.
• Epics: This is one of the panels on the left-hand side. It displays all the epics you have.
• Versions: This is the other panel on the left-hand side. It displays all the versions you have.

The highlighted area in the following screenshot is the new sprint, and the issues inside the sprint are what the team has committed to deliver at the end of the sprint:
