Prepare sprint planning for [TEAM_NAME]. Sprint length and dates: [SPRINT_DATES]. Team members with planned days off: [TEAM_AVAILABILITY]. Average velocity of the last three sprints: [VELOCITY]. Candidate stories at the top of the backlog with sizes: [CANDIDATE_STORIES]. Focus factor to use: [FOCUS_FACTOR].

Compute capacity with arithmetic: available person-days times the focus factor, for example a team of 5 over a 10-day sprint with 4 person-days off is 5 x 10 - 4 = 46 person-days, then times the focus factor. Compare with the velocity-based range. Propose a sprint goal in one sentence, select stories that fit the lower end of the range, flag stories that are not ready, and list dependencies that could block the sprint.

Return a 60-minute agenda with timings that add up, the capacity table, the proposed sprint backlog in priority order, a risk list with one mitigation each, and the questions the team must answer before committing. Velocity is a planning aid, not a target to push.

Invented team of 5, 10-day sprint. Planned days off: 4 person-days. Available = 5 x 10 - 4 = 46 person-days. Focus factor 0.7 (to confirm): 46 x 0.7 = 32.2 effective days.
Velocity of last three sprints: 28, 34, 31 points; average = (28 + 34 + 31) / 3 = 31. Range 28 to 34.
Proposed commitment: 28 points (the lower end), because one person is away for the first four days.
Sprint goal: Customers can pay by card at checkout.
Not ready: two stories lack acceptance criteria; hold them in the backlog.
Risk: the payment provider sandbox may be slow to approve test accounts.
