✓
📋 Budget Info (Backlog)
Gather your income sources, recurring bills, debts, and savings goals. This is your raw material — the backlog every sprint pulls from.
✓
👥 Roles Assigned
Decide who owns each responsibility: bill payments, grocery budget, savings transfers. If solo, you wear every hat — acknowledge each role.
✓
📅 Meeting: Sprint Budget Planning
Schedule 15 min before each paycheck to allocate every dollar. This is your Sprint Planning ceremony — the foundation of each cycle.
✓
🗣️ Meeting: Standup (Dollar Standup)
Daily when starting out, or at least twice a week. A quick 5–10 min check: Am I on track? Any surprises? One adjustment for today.
✓
🔄 Meeting: Retro
Schedule 20 min at the end of each sprint. Reflect on what went well, what didn’t, and one thing to improve. Continuous improvement starts here.
🎉 You’re all set! Launch your first sprint below.
