Versions Compared

Key

  • This line was added.
  • This line was removed.
  • Formatting was changed.
  • Sprint demo was held on Wednesday 5/23, there was still work left to do on the MVP release
  • Sprint planning for Sprint 2 has not been held yet, so we are still in Sprint 1
  • Three main questions: what went well with the sprint, what went poorly with the sprint, what do you want to see changed in the next sprint?
  • Joel
    • Took way longer than expected, still have bugs to work out
    • Disappointed with how the work went overall
    • It was a good learning experience, realized that he hardly knew anything for working with Bootstrap going in
    • Liked working with Ken and that we had a time period to complete the work
    • Do not know what your schedule is like each week, so hard to estimate if you can get the work done in the sprint timebox
    • Also a problem with estimating the amount of time that the work would actually take
    • This can not be a full time effort due to also needing to job hunt (which has to take priority)
    • Not sure how to correctly approach a bootstrap project
  • Ken
    • Challenge to find the time to get together with Joel.  His role was to help Joel with his work on the project
    • He gave advice on areas he had learned previously (more experience coming into this project)
    • Is better at debugging, good at applying those skills
    • Learned things as he helped Joel solve problems that the project ran into
    • Did not like the strict agile environments and agile practices / meetings (too cumbersome)
    • Need to get used to updating the Jira tickets to log progress on the work being done
    • Agile is based on 40 hour work week, which does not work well for our group since we are not full time on the project
  • Lora
    • We do not have the right process in place regarding people/process/tools
    • We spent 3 weeks just getting the tools set-up, that should have been done before the project began
    • Liked the way the MVP product looked, being simple, not overly complicated
    • More things to add to the website in later sprints
    • Need to have a way to make the process work faster, closer to a business environment
      • Tough issue to solve by us
      • May need deadlines to help make sure things get done when expected
    • No knowing the skill levels of the team members caused some issues
    • We did complete what we intended to do for the sprint
    • Suggests a process template be created for teams like ours to work smoother
    • Having just a Monday meeting when doing an active project is not often enough for team to meet.  Need to meet at least twice a week on a scheduled basis.
  • Note:  Joel and Ken still working on Nav Bar scrolling issue, so final MVP version is not yet publicly deployed
  • First item on Wednesday agenda should not be Scrum, it is a general meeting for each team to update the rest of TSSG on what they were working on and interesting topics related to the group
