Sprint Planning
Objectives
- Define the sprint goals and make clear tickets on your project board
- Prioritize each issue as low, medium, high priority
Improvements Dump (Brainstorm)
- Objectives
- Write out as many potential improvements you could make to your project as possible.
- Instructions
- This is an individual activity
- Each person should write out improvements on Sticky Notes
- Only 1 improvement per sticky note, make them specific.
Add Error Handling
is insufficient.Handle null cases in books controller
is much better. - All potential improvements of the app should be included (we will define what to include in the sprint later in the process)
- Get creative with potential improvements. There are no wrong answers.
Improvement Sharing/Elimination of Duplicates (Decide)
- Objectives
- Share what came out of the improvements dump
- Eliminate duplicate ideas
- Instructions
- You will be organizing these thoughts as a group in the project’s Miro board
- Each person should present their improvements one at a time, giving a brief description of what that improvement is, so it is clear for the whole group.
- As each person takes a turn you will notice that some of the improvements will be duplicates of previously shared improvements. If this is the case, simple delete that sticky note. Don’t spend time describing an improvement if it is a duplicate.
Improvement Prioritization and Sprint Definition (Decide)
- Objectives
- Define the improvements that will make up your sprint (and maybe some stretch goals)
- Instructions (recommended)
- Go through each improvement and label it as Low/Medium/High Priority
- Keep in mind the project requirements
- You can also use an effort/impact matrix to help you determine priority
- Repeat this process until you have gone through all of the stories.
- Once you are finished, pick which improvements you want to add to your sprint, and which you want to leave as stretch goals
- Add each improvement in your sprint to your team project board. Make sure to include a clear description, someone not in this meeting might be working on that ticket!
- Go through each improvement and label it as Low/Medium/High Priority
