ROF: Sprint Planning

Sprint Architecture

Backlog Item Breakdown

Percent	Task
50%	New releasable feature work
10%	Bug Fixes
20%	Other tech or sprint-related work including: Ad-hoc testing - EN and FR Missed unit or automated tests Tech debt
10%	Release activities (including notes and change log) Documentation Make sure Playwright tests are passing
10%	Buffer

Release Process

We will ship once per sprint.

- Users should only test one hour max

Current: Manual deployment

Future: One-click deployment (Jugraj is working with Henry)

Definition of Done

Acceptance criteria is complete
PO has approved screenshot of UI for new work (as needed)
Unit test is complete
Test case is written
