Iteration 2 Plan, Reflective Workshop, Methodology shaping session

After yesterday's meeting with end-user and gathering the necessary requirements to progress into the 2nd iteration, we were back to have our iteration plan.

Reflective Workshop

We held this session to identify our working habits, see the things we are doing right that we should keep, those that we should try and the the problems being encountered. Below is a summary of what was collected from the session

Keep These	Try These
·        Effective communication habits	·        Personal Safety
·        Daily stand-ups	·        Frequent feedback on part A – Weekly
·        Pair programming	·        Adjust time to cover for work load
·        Assign development tasks	·        Have agreed screen designs ready for all before development
·        More documentation	·        Provide template document for teams to fill during tasks
	·        Introduce voice recording during feedback with permission
Problems
·        Not enough feedback time on Research section

Method Shaping (Methodology Shaping in Crystal Clear)

Alistair Cockburn,  Crystal Clear 2005

Here is a refined process cycle we ended up with after discussing the terms such as what a delivery, iteration, increment , integration should be in terms of our project.

From the above, we consider our whole project having one delivery with 3 iterations. We replace the terms integration with the term increment based on our understanding and considering the process diagram explanations in Alistair's book (pp 116). We have therefore had to update all references to these terms in our documentation.

Iteration 2 Plan

After using the blitz planning technique to identify all the needed pages and functionality, we divided the tasks once again according to sub groups and scheduled development to start the next day. These outputs were however ready by the close of day
