Planification de sprint avec MCP : transformer les objectifs en tâches scopées
Convert a set of sprint goals into structured tasks in Corcava using MCP. This workflow guide shows you how to break down sprint goals, create tasks with owners, add acceptance criteria, and produce a sprint checklist—all with confirmation patterns to ensure safe task creation.
Ce que ce workflow permet
Sprint planning with MCP transforms high-level goals into actionable tasks:
Résultats clés
- Goal breakdown: Convert sprint goals into specific, actionable tasks
- Task creation: Create tasks with titles, descriptions, and assignments
- Acceptance criteria: Add acceptance criteria as comments on tasks

- Team alignment: Assign tasks to team members with clear ownership
Prérequis
Before using this workflow, ensure you have:
- Corcava MCP server configured in your AI assistant
- API key with write access to tasks (for creating tasks)
- Project and board IDs where sprint tasks will be created
- Sprint goals defined (can be pasted into the prompt)
- Team member information for assignments
Workflow pas à pas
Step 1: Provide Sprint Goals
Start by providing your sprint goals to the AI assistant:
Sprint Goals Input Prompt
What the AI does:
- Analyzes each sprint goal
- Breaks down goals into specific, actionable tasks
- Drafts task titles and descriptions
- Presents task list for review (no creation yet)
Step 2: Review and Refine Task List
Review the proposed tasks and make adjustments:
Task Refinement Prompt
What the AI does:
- Modifies task list based on feedback
- Shows updated task list
- Waits for approval before creating tasks
Step 3: Assign Owners and Set Due Dates
Assign tasks to team members and set sprint deadlines:
Assignment Prompt
What the AI does:
- Analyzes task types and team member roles
- Assigns tasks to appropriate owners
- Sets due dates within sprint timeline
- Shows assignment plan for review
Step 4: Add Acceptance Criteria
Add acceptance criteria as comments on tasks:
Acceptance Criteria Prompt
What the AI does:
- Analyzes each task to determine acceptance criteria
- Drafts acceptance criteria comments
- Shows preview: "Task: [Title], Comment: [Acceptance Criteria]"
- Waits for "CONFIRM"
- Only after confirmation, calls
add_task_commentfor each task
Step 5: Create Tasks (with Confirmation)
⚠️ Always Confirm Before Creating Tasks
Never let AI create tasks without explicit confirmation. Use this pattern:
- Preview First: Show all tasks that will be created
- Confirmation Token: Require "CONFIRM" or "CONFIRM ALL" before creating
- Review Details: Display title, description, assignee, due date for each task
- Batch Confirmation: For multiple tasks, show full list and require "CONFIRM ALL"
Safe Task Creation Prompt
What the AI does:
- Shows complete task list with all details
- Waits for "CONFIRM ALL"
- Only after confirmation, calls
create_taskfor each task - Confirms each task was created successfully
Step 6: Generate Sprint Checklist
After tasks are created, generate a sprint checklist:
Checklist Generation Prompt
What the AI does:
- Calls
list_tasksfiltered by the sprint project/board - Formats tasks as a checklist
- Presents sprint checklist for tracking

Workflow Variants
Variant 1: Two-Pass Planning
Create an outline first, then create tasks:
What happens: AI creates outline first, then creates tasks after approval
Variant 2: Template-Based Planning
Use a template for common sprint structures:
What happens: AI applies consistent structure across all goals
Example: Complete Sprint Planning Session
Here's a real example of how a sprint planning session flows:

Safety Patterns
⚠️ Confirmation Rules for Task Creation
When creating multiple tasks during sprint planning:
- Always preview: Show complete task list with all details before creating
- Require explicit confirmation: Use "CONFIRM ALL" for batch creation
- Review assignments: Verify assignees and due dates are correct
- Check project/board: Ensure tasks go to the right project and board
Troubleshooting
Invalid Project ID
Symptom: Error when creating tasks
Possible causes:
- Project ID doesn't exist
- Project belongs to different workspace
Fix: Use list_projects to find correct project ID first
Too Many Tasks Created
Symptom: More tasks created than expected
Possible causes:
- AI broke down goals into too many tasks
- Duplicate tasks created
Fix: Always review task list before confirming. Use "CONFIRM ALL" only after careful review
