Eliminate distractions. All personal electronic devices, including laptops, phones, and iPads, are prohibited. If you need to use your device, step outside the room or wait until a break.
Implement a timebox. A strict schedule fosters trust in the sprint process. Use a Time Timer to foster concentration and a sense of urgency. Schedule lunch later in the day.
Have a snack break and lunch around 1pm. This timing helps maintain energy levels and avoid busy lunchtime periods.
If you're doing the Sprint on location, prepare supplies such as whiteboards, printer paper, pens, markers, tape, sticky notes etc.
For remote sessions, please make sure to establish the setup up front and make sure that everyone is able to join from a calm environment. Prepare a technical backup solution.
