Ok this is going to change a lot, as we try stuff.

Staunch Process - Based on traditional agile methodology.

Overview

  • Project Kick Off
  • Sprint Planning
  • Daily Scrum
  • Sprint Demo
  • Retrospective..

Project Kick Off

  • Estimate project into a set of milestones.
  • Each milestone should be for 1wk.
  • Title each milestone with somethin that describes the function of whats geting done.
  • add 2-3 bullet points (description) per milestone about key things getting done.
  • Get someone else to review it, and make sure your not crazy :)

Sprint planning

  • Try and keep it under a 1/2 hour.
  • Client does not need to be present.
  • Create stories / tickets for the current milestone.
  • Make list of all questions that arise, email client via basecamp.
    • Idea is to reduce peacemealing the client randomly all the time asking for small questions, try and foresee questions for the week in this meeting.
  • If there are questions around stories / clarification needed post to basecamp.
  • Set some goals for the week, and coordinate team effort around related goals, for the demo.

Daily Scrum

  • Same time each day.
  • Synch remote guys and on site guys, get to know each other a little.
  • Say what you plan to do that day, so you are accountable.
  • Say what you did previous day, so that you are accountable.
  • Say if there are any blocks (today or tomorrow)
    • If there are Scrum Master asks via basecamp.

Sprint Demo

  • Each Friday afternoon
  • Show client some stuff
  • Hopefully synch our efforts so that we maximize demo.

Retrospective

  • Happens asych as needed through basecamp and campfire
  • If stuff gets real bad, ie we need to do something, talk about it at lunch
  • If stuff gets real real bad, ask todd and parties concerned to have a private dinner :)
