Review sprint format and terms

Our plan:

  • 1 week sprints (Thursday to Thursday)
  • 2 meeting formats: Review (30mins), Planning (30mins)

Agile approaches:

  • Sprint backlog a prioritized subset of tasks to work on during the sprint from the full project backlog
  • User Stories as short, simple description of features from perspective of person wanting system capabilities
  • Identifying a definition of ready for evaluating ability to begin work (mockups, PO agreement, service design or solution architecting to ensure dependencies have been identified)
  • Having a Definition of done for features, typically a checklist covering all work to mark feature as complete

Set sprint goal

  • 1-2 sentences, so at future meetings can review to answer "Was this last sprint successful?"

Build sprint backlog

  • Work from project backlog to develop sprint backlog

Consense and Process Check-out

  • Check in -- this looks okay for now?
  • Everyone knows what to do?
