Retrospective on fourth sprint / Plan for fifth sprint
Be ready to present by class time on Monday, 16 April 2018.
You have just finished one sprint and are about to embark on the next sprint. In a normal work situation, you would likely meet with your clients and Scrummaster. You would do a retrospective assessment on your past sprint and plan for your forthcoming sprint.
Since this is a class situation, we take a slightly different approach. We ask each team to give a short (under seven minute) presentation in which they retrospect on the prior sprint and describe their plans for the coming sprint. (The team should have made those plans in advance.)
Your presentation should include the following.
- A summary of the work you completed (and did not complete) in the previous sprint.
- An estimate of your velocity. This should not be hard to compute if you’ve documented and kept track of your tasks well.
- Your plans for the coming sprint. You should list the tasks, their associated user stories and the point values that you’ve assigned to those tasks. (Not all task will have an associated user story, but most should. All tasks should have an associated point value.)
- Comments about any resources you need for the coming sprint or obstacles that are of concern.
You should anticipate questions. You should also be prepared to ask questions of your colleagues.
