Sprint 6

By
Sprint 6 took place on Friday the 20th of October 2017 in the Final Year IT room on the 3rd floor of the IT building. This week, due to our usual Sprint meeting place - The Hub - being closed for graduations, we decided to meet up in the IT room.

Since this week we didn't have any classes on Monday due to Ophelia passing through, we weren't sure whether we should have a Sprint meeting or not since we weren't assigned any work for the week however as Thursday came, we noticed that indeed we have been given work to do so we decided to meet up.

Our Sprint started off with discussing what had to be done during this week which which comprised of writing a Sprint 6 blog and completing the Business Model Canvas for our idea ThawSafe.

The Business Model Canvas is quite a big thing to do for an individual and we felt it would be very unfair to assign such a major and stressful task to a single of our collegues so after discussing it, we all agreed that we won't overload anyone with so much work but instead we'll divide the BMC into parts and assign everyone enoough to keep them busy but not enough to overload them.

When dividing the tasks we took into consideration the difficulty of each piece of the Business Model Canvas so that everyone will have a roughly the same amount of work to do.

The tasks ended up being divided as following:
 
    Joanna: Sprint blog
                   Revenue streams

    Hasan:
                  Key resources
                  Channels
                  Key partners

    Sean:
                  Customer relationships
                  Customer segments
                  Key activities

    Lucinda:
                  Value propostion
                  Cost structure


This concluded our Sprint.

Sprint 2 - Reflection

By
We started this sprint off with sprint planning sessions. We had two planning meetings. One occurring on Monday directly after our Advanced Professional Skills lecture and another meeting taking place after our lectures had ended Tuesday afternoon. Organizationally we made one change in the way we segmented our communication. We decided that instead of having multiple channels on Slack for the various aspects of our work that we would have a single channel for each week of the term. And thus for this sprint, we relegated all our communication to the new week3   channel on Slack. Our first planning meeting was short due to the lecture slides not being on available on Blackboard making it difficult for us to work out which tasks we had to do. However, we could decide on who could write this week's sprint retrospective blog. Also, we decided on a final name for our product. We all posted what we believed would be a good name for our product, into the week3 channel so th...

Sprint 4

By
This weeks sprint took place on the 2nd of October at 12:15. There were various items that need to be discussed and task that needed to be assigned. To start, we created a new channel in Slack for the week. We then discussed each task individually. Through discussion we were able to assign tasks that suited each individuals attributes. There was brief conflict as both Hasan and Joanna wanted to create the storyboard because they both enjoy working with design, in the end, we came to a compromise where Hasan would get this design task and Joanna would get the next. The other tasks were assigned with no issues. We discussed who we could contact in other to gauge the market. We decided to think individually on this task for the week and present our ideas during Monday's sprint. We decided this because we all initially had the same or very similar ideas such as surveys and emails to companies etc. We concluded that working individually on ideas for now, might lead to a more creativ...

Sprint 7

By
Sprint 7 took was divided up into 2 parts. Originally it took place on Monday 23rd Oct in The Hub where our team met up to discuss all the work we had to split up for the upcoming week. We have done the BMC the week beforehand so we were happy with this being a lighter week workload wise. We split up all the tasks we had to do and updated each other on what we've been working on so far so that we're all on the the same page when it came to things like the production price and where it came from and who we talked to about our product ThawSafe amongst other things. We concluded our sprint and went about our week knowing that we all were aware of what we had to do individually and what all our teammates were doing also.   Throughout the week we noticed other teams talking and working on their deliverables for the module that we haven't realized we had to do. It was a busy week full of lectures so none of us had much time to meet up and recheck if we had all tasks account...
