As we work to allign our SDLC to scrum methodology, please note the following:
1. Eligible Cases – Cases eligible for inclusion in Sprint 9 have the following characteristics:
a. Milestone = 2.41
b. Area = Backlog
c. Sprint = 0 (zero)
2. Eligible Cases Static – Final cases were added to the backlog 1/9/2015 but no new cases are being added after that date for required inclusion in the grooming process.
3. Sprint = 0 – Eligible cases are temporally assigned to Sprint 0. Only cases in the backlog with Sprint = 0 are eligible for inclusion in Sprint 9. The product team will continue to generate cases and add them to the backlog with Sprint = (blank), these cases can be included in the grooming process for Sprint 9 at the sole discretion of the development team but are not expected to be considered until Sprint 10. I will work to have a better solution (backlog ranking) for handling such cases in the future.
4. Priority – The product team has prioritized the cases for grooming (1 high to 7 low). The Development Team should groom cases starting with the highest priority and work their way down.
5. Estimation – All groomed cases must have an estimation added to the case
6. Sprint 9 Build – The development team will determine which cases will be included in Sprint 9 based on their bandwidth and case estimations. Cases will be added to the sprint based on their priority starting with priority 1.
7. Sprint 9 Start – Sprint 9 will start on Monday 1/26/2015 with a duration of two weeks commencing on 2/6/2015.
