I am trying to gain a fuller understanding of what is included in a sprint cycle and how to estimate the work that will be undertaken by the development team during the sprint cycle.
I understand from my reading the sprint planning, sprint review and sprint retrospective is included in a sprint cycle, therefore what end date for delivery of a 'done' sprint backlog should the team work towards:
Example - 4 week sprint
Monday - Day 1 of sprint
Sprint planning - 8 hours
Tuesday - Day of sprint
Sprint iterations
