5. Sprint Activities
PLANNING SESSION PRIORITIZING DAILY MEETINGS
Each sprint starts with a
planning session. The outcome
of the sprint planning session is
a list of tasks that will be
delivered during that sprint.
During the sprint the tasks to be
built, are completed in priority
order to provide the most
valuable business functionality
as early as possible.
During each day of the sprint
there is a short daily meeting
(max 15 minutes, possibly
online) together with your
representative.
TASKS COMPLETION DEMO SESSION RETROSPECTIVES
Tasks are considered completed
once the agreed completion
criteria is met. Completed tasks
can be reviewed by your
representative at any time
during the sprint.
At the end of each sprint all
complete tasks and built product
features are demonstrated to
stakeholders in a demo session
where comments are highly
appreciated.
At the end of each sprint
retrospectives (retros) are held.
It is crucial for improving the
product development process
and gathering feedback about
the progress of the team.
