+= Product Planning =
-* Stakeholders
+During product planning meetings we set product milestones. We discuss milestone goals & objectives - esp. release dates & success metrics. Product planning meetings set the backlog of milestones.
-* Product
-* Developers
-* QA (optional?)
-=== Agenda ===
+* Schedule - Bi-weekly Wednesdays @ 10am PST, 15-60m
-During product planning meetings we set the immediate product goals and objectives. We introduce new features, discuss enhancements to existing features, review new and outstanding bugs, and prioritize. Product planning meetings set the backlog - we create bugs, update bugs, assign milestones to bugs, remove milestones from bugs.
+* Attendees - All MDN Stakeholders: Engagement+, Product+, Dev+, Legal?, QA?, IT?

+** Carry-over any outstanding milestones
+** Introduce new milestones
+* Output
+** basecamp milestones & tasks
+** accurate bugzilla milestones

-Accurate bugzilla bugs and milestones

+* Attendees - Product+, Dev+, QA+, IT?
+* Agenda
+** Retro - celebrate every push, give kudos; encourage what worked and fix what didn't work in last sprint
+** Triage - prioritize new bugs (use bugzilla)
+** Planning - Developers review milestones' bugs with Product and add everything necessary for dev - implementation details, resources, risk, effort, etc.
+** Roadmap - briefly summarize Product Planning meeting for anyone who skipped it
+* Output - Sprint backlog in the form of dev + product-approved bugzilla bugs for immediately active milestone(s)

-==== Retro ====
-* Celebrate all code pushes & give kudos

-* For each active milestone, review outstanding bugs and plan new bugs. Discuss implementation details with Product.
-==== Roadmap ====
-Briefly (5m) discuss upcoming non-immediate work so no-one is surprised by anything.
