I Asked GitHub Copilot to Plan My Next Sprint: It Failed Spectacularly
Tried using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio 2026 to generate a full Agile sprint plan for rewriting a legacy application.Results: Codex Mini: Produced a vague, waterfall-style plan → clear misunderstanding of Agile. Full Codex: Better terminology (Definition of Done, backlog, etc.) but still mostly fluff and unrealistic timelines. The plans focused on mechanical code conversion, missing the actual domain logic rewrite. Effort estimates were not realistic, especially without historical sprint velocity or team input. *Conclusion:AI can generate something that looks like a sprint plan, but realistic Agile planning still requires human developers who understand the codebase, requirements, and team velocity.
