Retrospective for week 38 sprint

Description #

Review sprint for week 38.

Review #

I set up my agile environment this week and then started working on the Brand Strategy Sprint first week. I learned about:

- Three lines of business #

1. Perceived Value
2. Price
3. Cost to produce

- Clock Model #

- Pre, post, and purchase phases #

- Three Hurdles Framework #

1. Differentiation - stands out vs other similar things
2. Relevance - Does anyone care
3. Sustainability - Can we keep it going

More on this later when I can move my notes over.

Functionality #

• Blog posts - Create to narate work
• Stories - One for each feature to implement
• Sprints - Groups stories into 1 week time periods
• Backlog/Done - Easy view status of stories

Workflow #

This is the approach I took for the first sprint, it seems to mostly work, but there are probably some areas that could be improved/streamlined:

• When a story idea arises, create a story with 'backlog' tag, add any details that are known
• Each day, write a blog post describing in a general way what has been done on previous day, and what is to be done that day
• Update stories with implementation details and task list
• Create a feature branch for each story, then a sub branch for each coding task
• Once story is completed, update the 'backlog' tag to 'done'
• Merge sub branches when theny are complete into story branch
• Merge story branch into master
• Do a retrospective at the end of the week

Questions #

• Where should links to blog post written during the sprint be added?
• Should completed sprints be displayed with strikethrough?
• Should there be a way to view in progress stories?
• Is the feature branch / sub task branch technique error prone? (It's easy to merge task into the wrong branch)
• Should story pages display currently assigned tags?

• Next: Create github project
• Previous: Ensure creating new sprints is as expected
