Scrum.org Argues AI Agent Token Costs Belong in Sprint Planning as Capacity

Scrum.org trainer argues that when Scrum Teams pay for AI agents by the token, token budgets become a capacity constraint for Sprint Planning. Tokens shape what a team can afford to do, but should not decide what is valuable. The post warns against two failure modes: ignoring token spend, which exhausts the budget early, and letting cheap-to-generate items jump the queue regardless of value.

Why it matters: Teams using AI agents need a planning method that accounts for token costs without letting those costs override the Sprint Goal and value-based prioritization.
