Sprint prep

Sprint prep

• Outline: Ensure that the team is ready to start the next Sprint.
• Goal: Decide which Users Stories can be worked on.
• Duration: 15-30 minutes.
• Frequency: Before starting a new Sprint.

How-to

1. Open the Project Board and Issue list
2. Quickly assess current Sprint progress status
3. Look for assigned tasks that have become irrelevant or outdated
4. For irrelevant tasks: discard them on the next Sprint Planning
5. For outdated tasks: update the necessary information before the next Sprint Planning
6. Agree on a rough estimate of what should be achievable on the next Sprint

Note: mind the potential amount of work that will carry over before commiting to new tasks.

1. Make sure all User Stories to be started have all the necessary details, including design decisions.
2. Assess availability for all necessary team members (all necessary skills)
