This competency assessment assesses the following Outcome(s): IT488M5: Create a software application from a concept to a finished product. Purpose: Implementing an Agile Development methodology involves completing certain processes that will guide the team toward completion of their objectives for each iteration of the development. In this module you present your process for conducting the Sprint Review at the end of each of the Sprints and the Sprint Retrospective. Each of these events has an important purpose and is key to the delivery of the product and the continuing improvement of the scrum team. Assessment Instructions: You are the team leader for a software development project. Complete a presentation of 8- 12 slides outlining the Sprint Review and Sprint Retrospective events that will be conducted at the end of each Sprint. For the Sprint Review, be sure to focus on attendees and who should lead the various areas of discussion during the review of the last Sprint Development, the status of the Backlog, demonstration of functionality, and discussion of what went well or where there were difficulties in the development during the last Sprint. Be sure to also describe next steps related to the next increment for development in the next Sprint. For the Sprint Retrospective, differentiate this from the Review and describe how the team will conduct this event differently from the Spring Review. How are the objectives of the Sprint Retrospective contributing to the development and maturation of the Scrum Team? Ensure that you focus on both developer and stakeholder activities and concerns in your presentation. Differentiate between product related and process related activities in this presentation. Requirements: The presentation should be a total of 8-12 slides in length. Include in-text citations and a reference page for any sources used (does not count against the slide count). Sources and content should follow APA citation style. Presentation is well-organized, logical, and written with clarity free of spelling and grammar errors. The presentation should 1. Describe activities specific to the Sprint Review. 2. Identify key tasks to be accomplished to prepare for the next development increment. 3. Describe the process used to determine items for improvement candidates in the retrospective portion of the presentation. 4. Note how items that do not finish will be handled in the next Sprint. 5. Note who will lead key activities and discussions during the review and retrospective. Part 2: Product Development Increment Prepare a demonstration and summary of the latest increment of product delivery based on the User stories from Module 4. Coordinate a presentation with your instructor during this module. Your presentation may include online access to a demonstration and/or a presentation to your instructor. This task should be completed during the first week of the module. Complete the final sprint for your product development. Select a minimum of two user stories with appropriate and prioritized work items form the product backlog. The deliverables for the end of this sprint will include sprint and product artifacts to include user stories, product backlog and burndown, sprint planning, sprint backlog and burndown, sprint review, demonstration, and retrospective. Part 3: Product Dashboard Describe the progress of development using the selected tools and dashboards. As a minimum, present a current backlog and burndown chart showing planned development and development progress. This will continue for each remaining Module in the sequence. Prepare this as an attachment to the Deliverable for this module. This attachment should present the charts noted and any additional data as PowerPoint slides.
