How to read it

  • Fag-1 and Fag-2 are the inception: product vision and planning. They end with the elevator pitch and the customer presentation.
  • Fag-3, Fag-4 and Fag-5 are the three development sprints, about three weeks each.
  • On review and planning Mondays you close a sprint and open the next one. The same day, planning_X.pdf goes to the Drive.
  • Retrospectives "on your own" are run by the team alone, but must be documented in the report.
Deadlines are hard. A document created or edited after the deadline is at least penalised and, in the worst case, discarded. If two sources disagree, Racó wins.

No class

  • Monday 12 October (bank holiday).
  • 29 October to 4 November: midterm exams.
  • Monday 7 December.

The three presentations

  • Elevator pitch: 2 minutes, one person (week 2).
  • Customer presentation: 10-15 minutes, two other people (week 4).
  • Final technical presentation + demo: about 20 + 10 minutes plus 25 of questions, the rest of the team (16 December).
