There often seems to be a thought around sw development especially in bigger orgs, that if you plan something very well it will be then easy to allocate the work to individuals in a team, and then fast for them to do. And that way you can get plenty of "tasks done on a sprint". Which may be true.
But forgotten are the months the thing has been "planned" in various ways.
And forgotten are the hours and days of planning things that eventually never even get done.
And in the end, forgotten are the goals and impacts one originally hoped the product to achieve.
Instead of all this effort planning it would be often way more effective to spend the time to clarify and generate shared understanding on the objectives of the work. And then let the team do the work with planning, implementing and analysing being intertwined activities, focusing on the impacts you are aiming to achieve.
