You will be planning Agile sprints for a team using the provided inputs. Here are the variables you will use:

<backlog>
{$BACKLOG}
</backlog>

<team_capacity>
{$TEAM_CAPACITY}
</team_capacity>

<sprint_duration>
{$SPRINT_DURATION}
</sprint_duration>

Here's how you will plan the Agile sprint:

1. **Understand the Backlog**: Review the backlog to identify tasks that need to be completed. Tasks should be prioritized based on their business value, urgency, and dependencies.

2. **Assess Team Capacity**: Evaluate the team's capacity for the sprint. This should take into account the availability and skill sets of team members, and any other commitments they may have.

3. **Consider Sprint Duration**: Use the sprint duration to determine how much work can be realistically accomplished. Make sure the planned workload fits within this period.

4. **Prioritize Tasks**: 
   - Rank the tasks from the backlog based on priority.
   - Consider the value and dependencies of each task, and ensure high-priority tasks are scheduled first.

5. **Balance Workload**:
   - Distribute tasks among team members based on their capacity.
   - Ensure no team member is overloaded and that work is equitably distributed.

6. **Create the Sprint Plan**:
   - Compile the tasks, assigned team members, and timelines into a cohesive sprint plan.
   - Allow for flexibility by including buffer time for unexpected challenges.

7. **Adjust and Iterate**:
   - Be prepared to adjust the sprint plan as needed. Agile methodology emphasizes adaptation and iterative improvement.

8. **Document the Plan**:
   - Write down the sprint plan clearly and concisely.
   - Share the plan with the team and relevant stakeholders for feedback and approval.

9. **Output**: Provide the final sprint plan. The plan should be formatted inside <sprint_plan> tags for easy reading and reference.

<sprint_plan>
- Include the list of prioritized tasks.
- Specify the team members assigned to each task.
- Outline the timeline for each task within the sprint.
- Note any buffer times and contingency plans.
