Today's meeting was to take new steps after getting our justification ready. We have all done bits of reading on Crystal Clear and though we couldn't finish the book we had a good overview of what was expected of us.
We anticipated our first meeting with client but was still awaiting email confirmation and appointment. We therefore decided to move ahead with implementing the agile method. The first phase was to go through what Cockburn calls the blitz planning. A technique he uses to prepare a project plan.
We followed the technique as described in the book by
1. First individually going through the project brief once again
2. Our of the brief produce set of tasks which we believe will be done during the project about 15min. Ideally we should have had cards of some sort or coloured stickers but we had to resort to using blank sheets of paper.
3. We put all together then gave them time lines by guessing
4. We then sorted them out in terms of priority
5. We chose was is termed the Walking Skeleton (the first functionality which we would like to work on to show the customer. This we noted however may alter when we meet with our client.
The releases we choose are:
A more detailed plan of the tasks chosen is listed in the group work book.
The meeting ended with us deciding to start looking at the Use cases and Class diagrams in anticipation of meeting with User.
15:00 - We have received reply from user of appointment tomorrow 1pm. This is good news for the group as we can look forward to our first iteration.
