I Asked AI to Do Agile Sprint Planning (GitHub Copilot Test)

AI tools are getting very good at writing code. GitHub Copilot can generate entire functions, review pull requests, and even help refactor legacy codebases. But software development isn’t just about writing code. A big part of the process is planning the work. So I decided to run a small experiment: Can AI actually perform Agile sprint planning? Using GitHub Copilot inside Visual Studio 2026, I asked AI to review a legacy codebase and generate a Scrum sprint plan for rewriting the application. The results were… interesting.
