  2. Changes in roles/list.md:

    • Several updates were made to the role of the Sprint Planning Manager:
      • Ensuring all tasks have been estimated at the sprint estimation cut-off point.
      • Checking if the work scheduled matches the cell's capacity.
      • Addressing undercommitment in sprint preparation.
      • Overseeing backlog grooming to ensure it is properly maintained.
    • For Epic Planning Managers, new responsibilities include:
      • Managing the planned workload on epics to match cell capacity.
      • Actions to take if the workload is above or below cell capacity, such as informing the recruitment manager, creating tasks for epic owners, communicating with the business development specialist, and discussing the issue on the forum.
