Seriously, you don't plan 14 sprints at once. You plan for one sprint, and you need to synchronize with the rest od the team. Scrum is about teamwork and product iterations, if you start from "i need API with 14 endpoints" and you will do that alone then that's not Scrum.

Totally!
- How do you know you need 14 endpoints? - What do they do? - Do you need them all delivered in one go? Why? - Can you make something, useful to the bulk of your users, with three or four endpoints? - Who uses the endpoints? Can they do some of their work whilst you make your endpoints? - What goes over these endpoints?
All these, and more, affect how you build and what you build. Scrum, and agile in general, should help you organise the work (where "work" includes planning, design, collaboration, as well as build and release), and gives you space to improve the quality of the work (when it's done well).

"That's not scrum" is what I hear every time someone has a problem with it.
Being able to follow Scrum seems to be harder than getting work done...
