Summary
Sprint Planning Simulation 1 is the traditional method where the Scrum Master is a dedicated role (full-time or part-time). The focus is on confirming pre-established estimates and committing to a set of work based on prior estimates made during Backlog Grooming. The Scrum Master’s main responsibility is facilitating the meeting, clearing up ambiguities, and helping the team commit to the Sprint’s work.

Summary
Sprint Planning Simulation 2 adopts a capacity-based story pointing method, where the team estimates work based on their available capacity. In this simulation, the Product Owner temporarily takes on the role of the Scrum Master, leading the team through the estimation process, and ensuring the work aligns with the team’s current capacity. The PO facilitates the discussion of effort, complexity, and capacity, while also ensuring the team remains aligned with the Sprint Goal.
