Agile@School – episode 2

In this post, we’ve introduced the Agile@School project, a new way for managing school projects.

The second “episode” I’ve added an actor, Gabriele, a student which will be the scrum master. We’ve achieved the real number of team members, which is 9 and we’ve understood also the interests of each member. The final goal is to create a team and to manage the teachers idea of project for the final exams.
Scrum master
Gabriele, will be the scrum master. Since I’ll be the coach, I need also, let’s say, an “external” person. He’ll help me in separating the heavy amount of work and in facilitating the team.
The project
The project is based on a product called “Ex-students yearbook“. It’s a database of students which studied in the school, which provides also a web user interface for both the front end and the administration back end.
The team
We’ve got 9 members. Now, is time to understand the skill of each team member.
Next time, likely this saturday, we’ll go deeper and we’ll start to add user stories and PBIs on VSTS. We’ve got already the document with specifications. For each story we will define the Personas and after this step, we’ll start to play to Planning Poker.
In the end we want:
– Get VSTS with PBIs in Product Backlog
– Make PBIs with efforts
– Get the first Sprint backlog
– Get the list of tasks for the first sprint
– Get the capacity and the roles in the team
– Define the sprint duration and ceremonies schedule
Then, the students will start to coding!
Stay Tuned!
