Avoid Starting Projects with Sprint Zero

Starting projects with a so-called 'sprint zero' is not recommended as it often lacks the necessary time and context for proper planning. Instead, focus on proper refinement, grooming, and release planning to avoid the need for a preparatory sprint. This approach can streamline the workflow and improve efficiency by emphasizing doing things right from the beginning.
