What a Sprint?

A sprint is a set period of time during which specific work has to be completed and made ready for review / launch. We propose weekly sprints for research and design. and Bi Weekly sprints for development.

Key Meetings

Orientation Meeting (monthly - Zoom) The product team and owner walks through any materials available to understand requirements and identify goals for the next Sprint.

Planning Meeting (bi-weekly - Zoom) Each sprint begins with a planning meeting. During the meeting, the product team and the development team agree upon exactly what work will be accomplished during the sprint.

Standup (daily - Slack) Quick updates, questions and blockers

Design Review (weekly - Zoom) The product team shows their designs to review

Progress Meeting (weekly - Zoom) The development team shares their work to product stakeholders. If there are tickets to be tested or blocking issues, use this meeting to review and or resolve.

Retrospective Meeting (monthly - Zoom) The product team and the development team discusses what they can do to improve processes.

Story Points

Story points answer the amount of work we can get done within a sprint and are used to estimate the overall effort that will be required to fully implement a product item. Story points are based on the amount of work, complexity, uncertainty and risk for each item. Each item in Linear will be estimated and labeled with the amount of points

1. Not Estimated ( it's a copy and paste task )
2. Basic - Less than a day
3. More complicated what needs to be done, 2hrs to a day (no risks) 1 day (no risks)
4. Typical tasks 1/2 day to 2 days (some risks) 2 - 3 days
5. 5's (significant multi day tasks)
6. Long Term Projects (never allowed, have to be broken down)

10 points per week per dev baseline
