Sprint Planning Meeting, SecureDrop, March 21, 2018

Participants (alphabetical): Conor, Emmanuel, Erik, Freddy, Harris, Jen, Kushal, Loic (listening in + providing context), Mike, Mickael

Agenda:

0. Reminder: This is our first sprint. Processes will evolve rapidly. Estimates will be off. Tools will annoy. Please give continuous feedback.

1. Review our time commitments: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1suD_hQApz2cAm3JT4AZLmgsnuzpYWotgvudE3keulqs/edit#gid=0

2. Review our tools: Board (requires org access), Task Estimation. Task scores: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 - roughly map against hours, but we'll lose that distinction as we develop a better sense of real team capacity.

3. Agree on the primary sprint goals. Proposed:

• Clear PR backlog and high priority bugs, esp. 0.6 related
• CI and dev infra improvements
• Work towards new SecureDrop.org launch in following sprint

4. Agree on the rules of engagement. We try to stick to the sprint backlog except for:

• urgent bug fixes [outage level]
• urgent security fixes
• quick (< 1 hour) community PR merges + comments
• responding to issues
  We may run out of tasks that one team member can work on! We will keep an eye on our velocity and may do mid-point adjustment.

5. Estimate and pick tasks for sprint backlog => screenshare
