Is this process best practice?
Step 1: What’s coming in? What’s going out? For who? When?
Step 2: Establish the plan. What are we doing this month, quarter, next quarter, and year? Where are the gaps in the vision? If I inherit something, I push back on deadlines until I understand what’s being asked and why.
Step 3: Get the team agile. Each dev writes their own stories and validates each other’s work. I aim for 8 points per sprint, breaking down stories and re-assigning as needed.

True Agile doesn’t plan that far out and shouldn’t. There’s no value to it. The coming in and going out should all be prioritized, ideally in a way that is apples-to-apples, but that can be difficult, depending on your product. When all is lost, compare value to importance on a 2x2, Einstein Method style.

Points are all relative. What is 8 pts for you is 5 for someone else and 13 for another.

If your product is well-established, focus on value delivered per sprint. If you’re in a build phase though, the value delivered per sprint might be milestone-based.

Make sure the stories align to the vision and have OKIs and KPIs that are properly measuring what you need to prove. Otherwise, your product is a house made up of room-additions. There’s no flow and your code base is spaghetti.
